White Denim will put out their second album in as many years when Side Effects is released in March.
Quickly following last year’s Performance LP, Side Effects is due on March 29th and has Shanalala and NY Money acting as its first previews. “The lyrics came first,” James Petralli says of NY Money. “The first line was originally ‘The drugs quit smoking, I don’t find it inspiring.’ which I had written in a notebook after a night of drinking with the War On Drugs guys.”
“They had all recently ‘quit’ cigarettes which made me suspect that they were really hanging around me so they could pinch cigs every couple of minutes. I went through two packs in three hours with them.”
“The Neu influenced production and meandering feel of the back part of the tune is a winking homage to what they’ve been up to for the past few years.”
