Fittingly, for the release of White Bread, Black Beer, which was a beautiful expression of the creative energy Gartside had sustained over two decades at that point, Scritti Politti returned to Rough Trade for the first time since the mid-1980s.
Humbly described by Green on release as “an album of me playing around in the back room… just me alone at home”, White Bread, Black Beer was universally acclaimed. Described as “a return to the top” by The Guardian, “the best record of this restlessly self-critical career” by Uncut and “a sophisticated, gloriously gentle thing” by Pitchfork, the record was duly nominated for the 2006 Mercury Prize (and was only pipped by Arctic Monkeys’ debut).
