RIYL: Unknown Mortal Orchestra, Wilco, Crazy Horse
Label: Downtown
White Denim fans have been anxious for new tunes from the refined-yet-phrenetic Austin band since their last album in 2013, Corsicana Lemonade. The excitement was curbed a tad by frontman James Petralli’s stellar solo debut last year as Bop English, but then came rushing back when we received an end-of-the-year email about the return of WD in 2016.The day has finally come! but with a touch of bittersweetness upon noticing the band’s line-up change on Facebook. *sigh*—the end of an era for my favorite band (which I do not say lightly at all). As damn good as Leon Bridges is, who would’ve thought some broken WD fans’ hearts would be a byproduct of his skyrocket from dishwasher to mainstream success…I’m assuming that’s at least part of the reason.
Thankfully, in the first single “Holda You (I’m Psycho),” it’s clear that the rollicking spirit of the band continues on, & with Petralli at the helm, bassist Steve Terebecki still on board, & super-skilled Bop English touring members Jonathan Horne & Jeffrey Olson joining, Stiff, out March 25, is sure to deliver some more of the sun-seared riffage, charming complexity, & expertly crafted (& highly underrated) lyricism White Denim listeners have been awaiting.
