Forming in 2003, Berlin's the Whitest Boy Alive have had over a decade of experience together. The group featured Erlend Øye, best known for his work with Kings of Convenience. Though they've been inactive for a while, releasing their Rules LP way back in 2009, they've finally announced an official disbandment.
The group shared the following statement via their official site:
