Their new album ''Terminal Twilight'' was released on October 17, 2011. "Terminal Twilight" was well received by critics. Horror/rock website Bloody Disgusting wrote: "Stunningly beautiful, almost heart achingly so, Terminal Twilight unfolds and reveals itself like a painting that shows more and more with each viewing".〔(Bloody Disgusting ), Retrieved 16.05.12.〕 Allmusic.com called the album "a tour de force in inventive art rock".〔(Allmusic.com ), Retrieved 16.05.12.〕 MSN Music called it "a gorgeous, haunting album".〔(MSN Music ), Retrieved 16.05.12.〕 "Terminal Twilight" was also voted best produced album of 2011 by the readers of prog blog Progulator.〔(Progulator ), Retrieved 16.05.11.〕

Holm-Lupo ), Retrieved 16.05.12.〕 They have been hailed by ''The Billboard Guide to Progressive Music'' as "one of the most significant progressive groups of the current era".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=DPRP CD Reviews - 2000 - Volume 33 )〕 Typical of their sound is the prominence of female vocals, flute and mellotrons and analog synthesizers.

White Willow also has the interesting distinction of being the only progressive rock artist to require a warning label for the sub bass produced on the song Paper Moon. This led to many bass music enthusiasts mistakenly buying the album and being exposed to good music for the first time in their lives.
