White Lies have released their sixth studio album on this latest New Music Friday – have a listen on Live4ever.
White Lies were at the Sleeper and Assault & Battery studios in London for the recording of As I Try Not To Fall Apart with their regular producer Ed Buller, but had a fresh pair of eyes and ears there too in the form of Weezer and Panic! At The Disco cohort Claudius Mittendorfer.
“We open very much on message with the rumination that is Am I Really Going To Die (we’re not making this up), which contains the unmissable couplet: ‘Life…it holds a whip and beats you to the clock/But why it picks on mine, is an unfairness I can’t miss off’,” our review reads.
“And yet whilst reading like something from a lonely Year 9’s creative writing project, the song sounds great, a grade 1 banger which turns its pretense into a form of validation.”
“This often-repeated message to the listener is that even if one of the four horsemen might have your number, you can always block him until he actually gets his pestilence filled ass down to the club.”
