White Denim MP3s

(Photo: Aubrey Edwards) White Denim: their name alone implies weirdo ruggedness, and indeed, over two, self-produced albums, the Texan trio have bent garage-rock’s metallic edges to a crazed, virtuosic degree. On "YoYo," the only thing stopping that heaving, rumbling soul machine is its own brevity, and that’s fine–such potency is best dished in small doses...
"I Start to Run" is the soulfully frenetic lead single/anthem from White Denim’s adventurous and consistently brilliant upcoming LP, Fits. The 7" single, backed with non-album track "Yo-Yo," is due July 6, but you can listen now at Full Time Hobby’s website. ********** Catch the band with Harlem, PVC Street Gang, and Fight Bite this Saturday night in...
North London’s Wild Palms are scrappy self-starters whose tropical-concrete-post-punkish single “Over Time” gives our weak winter hearts a reason to keep on beating. But the sniTch rinse kind of makes our chests seize up with nasty industry, as thin air echoes and danceable waves bang up against our organs with each clip. Below, stream the original and download the hurt; and...
Here’s the first song to surface from White Denim’s ridiculously good upcoming LP, Fits: mp3: white denim :: mirrored and reverse [via] Fits is out June 22 in the UK on Full Time Hobby. *************

White Denim Reviews

White Denim Fits (Full Time Hobby) Where am I and what  in God’s name is happening? These are the thoughts that swim wildly around your mind by the time Fits has reached its third song, ‘Say What You Want’. The song starts with a riff that’s dirtier than sewer rat on crack before a stomping drum beat catches up and pulsates the song forwards in some sort of...
Band name: White Denim, The Hair, Grantura and more Label: various indie schmindies Teaser: Bad news: there are some foul and festering singles coming out this week. Good news: there’s always the odd diamond hiding in the horse shit! And that is the gospel, according to Cindy Suzuki… Pull quote 2: They sound like they’ve done time. They sound like men...
Venue: The other Hove, the one in freaking Norway Teaser: Richard Artrocker is led astray by Blood Red Shoes, given free beer tokens, and left to ponder the very obvious size difference between Jack White and Beck. Who would win in a fist fight between those two? I know who the smart money would be on… Pull quote 2: We are able to ascertain two things. One, that Jack...
