White Moth is the fourth album by Australian multi-instrumentalist Xavier Rudd. "Better People" was released as the first single taken from the album.[3] White Moth is Rudd's first album with the ANTI- record company. The album peaked at #30 on the Billboard Heatseekers album chart in June.[4]

White Moth's success earned an ARIA Music Awards nomination for Best Blues and Roots Album at the 2007 ceremony, but lost to John Butler Trio's multi-platinum Grand National.

Description of Music

The official Xavier Rudd online store had this to say about the album:

“White Moth” charts the spiritual journey of multi-instrumentalist Rudd. He’s traveled the globe and built a devoted following of fans, drawn to his amalgamation of folk, reggae, rock and world music. Featuring guest vocals from aboriginal Singers, “White Moth” pays respect to Australia’s indigenous people, from whom the yidaki (didgeridoo) virtuoso has drawn bottomless inspiration.[6]
