White Denim have opened an exciting new chapter with their twelfth studio album aptly titled 12, due out December 6 via Bella Union. The new collection takes a radical step into 70s garage rock brought home by James Petralli’s affecting croon. Lead single “Light On” digs deep on the struggle required sometimes to keep the faith in dark times.
Petralli shares, “‘Light On’ is the first song I wrote for this new collection. It mostly took its shape while I played my son’s guitar, both of us crammed onto his twin mattress with my partner reading for all of us from my daughter’s bed on the other side of the room. It is as influenced by Shel Silverstein as Elvin Jones. Over the years I spent creating this work this particular song served as an encouragement and a consistent reminder to focus on the positive and to continue creating with little regard for potential outcomes.”
