White Denim have shared another cut from their new album Performance with release due on Friday.
“There is something absurd and isolating in continuing this pursuit for personal connection on such a wide scale,” James Petralli has said.
“When writing an album I essentially leave my actual life, retreat deeper into myself and as it nears completion, I evaluate my work based on my own extremely skewed notion of what is widely relatable and still legitimately cool. My idea of cool is most significantly shaped by Steve’s body language when we are talking through ideas in session.”
