White Denim Under The Radar Debuts New Single/Video “Second Dimension” Available across platforms here 12 LP due out Dec. 6 via Bella Union 12 album pre-order

Credit: Charlie Weinmann  Singles: “Light On” “Second Dimension” One of the most dynamic rock bands to emerge in the aughts, White Denim have opened an exciting new chapter with their twelfth studio album aptly titled 12, due out December 6 via Bella Union. The band exploded out of Austin, Texas in ’08 with hyper-kinetic post-punk bangers and James Petralli duly raced on through shifting line-ups and kaleidoscopic shades of soul, jazz and Southern rock, always with a feel of in-the-moment authenticity. The new collection takes a radical step into 70s garage rock. Strapped with bouncing bass, dancing flute and Petralli’s irresistibly affecting croon, their brand new 70’s-indebted orchestral funk track “Second Dimension” is released today alongside an official video. Petralli shares, “The music for ‘Second Dimension’ was composed by Michael Hunter. He is a wonderful creative musician and I feel extremely lucky to get to work with him. When I write for others I try to sort of create a portrait of them with the lyric – or at the very least capture an aspect of who they are to me in my side of the work. Michael is often quiet and I see him as a very thoughtful, reflective, and considerate person. I ultimately meant to honor him with this production...and of course encourage all of us to read more poetry and philosophy.”

As for so many musicians, the pandemic forced Petralli to radically rethink homelife and his creative process. Back in Austin, he and his partner Elaine were caring for her father, who passed in Spring ’21. After relocating to Los Angeles, he took on the role of home-schooling his kids, fitting in writing sessions when he could. With its yacht rock-esque uplifting melodies, the new collection is a direct response to some of these “turbulent times” refracted through the glass-half-full sunshine prism of Petralli’s worldview. Living in LA also allowed him the opportunity to work as a “stunt vocalist” on the Amazon mini-series Daisy Jones And The Six, where he saw the producers at the famed Sound City studio happily plundering digital technology. This experience resulted in James now overseeing every aspect of his music’s up-to-the-minute digital production. “This is the first White Denim record where I’ve engineered and been the main producer,” he proudly shares. “I’ve touched every sound that’s on there.” Website | Facebook | X | Instagram | YouTube Bandcamp | Spotify | Apple Music
