Description
Austin quartet White Denim celebrate a decade as a band with their ninth studio album Side Effects, a journey encompassing Southern, experimental and psychedelic rock. Loosely steered by vocalist James Petralli, it brings together a long list of contributors in a careening attempt to capture the fizzing energy of a White Denim live show.
Sounds fuse together to create a propulsive and cohesive whole – catchy hooks, long instrumental jam-outs, general versatility. It’s all held together by the band’s well-honed knack for a screwy groove. With no two songs sounding the same, this is an album of sonic brilliance worth many revisits.
