“The music for Crystal Bullets was inspired by the groove of the great Bernard Purdie and the signature chopped and screwed (slowed and throwed) production techniques of Houston, Texas’ Robert Davis Jr., better known as DJ Screw,” White Denim say.
White Denim have unveiled a slice of the 12″ single which they’ll be putting out on their own English Mallard label on July 23rd.
Crystal Bullets will be on there with King Tears, featuring lyrics written by the band’s long-standing collaborator Andy Pickett.
“In the late nineties Andy and I spent many hours cruising around Ft. Worth in a cloud, listening to Curtis Mayfield, Arthur Lee, Daft Punk, and Big Maybelle,” James Petralli explains.
“Our years of friendship combined with our deep reverence for the masters and a willingness to try to measure up with our own work has led to another fresh piece of White Denim music that we couldn’t be more thrilled to share.”
