Content
The official Xavier Rudd online store had this to say about the album:
{{cquote|"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.{{Cite web|url=https://www.shop.musictoday.com/store|title=Musictoday Superstore | Merch from hundreds of music artists|website=Shop.musictoday.com|access-date=10 June 2021}}}}
