White Lies @ The Potterrow, Edinburgh (Jessica Bartolini for Live4ever)
White Lies have released a new song today after working with producer Andrew Wells in Los Angeles.
There’s apparently more to come from those sessions, Hurt My Heart leading the way after While Lies signed to [PIAS] Recordings earlier this year. “For ten years we have stayed loyal to the album format – only sitting down to write and then record when it was time for a new complete work,” Charles Cave states.
“Whilst there is a lot of love about that process, it is something of an endurance exercise. We decided it was about time to see what happened if we just wrote a few things with the idea to release music disconnected from an LP; something that could sit within the same universe as Five.”
On the subject of albums, White Lies have a European tour booked for November and December to mark the 10th anniversary of their debut To Lose My Life.
