Description
White Denim, one of the very best rock bands to emerge this millennium,
have gone through rapid changes in the 2020s, and now open an exciting
new chapter with the wondrous album, '12', which arrives rich in hot tunes
and fresh invention
It's always been hard to keep pace with James Petralli's group, ever since they
frst exploded out of Austin, Texas in '08 with hyper-kinetic post-punk bangers like
Shake Shake Shake and I Start To Run. There was delicious romance in the
original trio's MO, as they hatched intrepid sounds together via lengthy jams in a
1940s Spartan trailer parked up in woodland outside the city. James duly raced
on through shifting line-ups and kaleidoscopic shades of soul, jazz and Southern
rock, always with a feel of in-the-moment authenticity.
As for so many musicians, the pandemic forced Petralli into a radical rethink in
both life and creative process. Going into White Denim's twelfth long-player, he
relocated his family to Los Angeles, and, barred from the usual workouts "on the
foor" with his latest group members under COVID, he plunged deep into the
science of assembling tracks digitally, with contributions from players he'd
sometimes never even meet.
The results on '12' are intricate, hi-tech and forward-facing, yet also somehow still
of a piece with the questing ambition, rootsy swing and uplifting way with melody
we've come to adore about Petralli's music. "12" is released via Bella Union on 6th
December.
