White Denim hardens up with Stiff
March came in like a lion, and went out like a lamb. Or something like that. The snowy season is finally over and the spring is upon us. The clouds may be bringing rain, but the music world is bringing some sunny new gems.
Texas psych-rockers White Denim are generating a buzz with their latest album Stiff [March 25, via Downtown Records]. The record is 9 tracks and bounces around from one playful beat to another. Frontman James Petralli said the band wanted to "go back to basics" and it rings true on the album. On the track "Ha Ha Ha Ha (Yeah)", the band shows off more of a soulful side and it could pass as a funky R&B song. The whole album is a pleasant listen. Check them out on tour as they weave through the United States with big festival gigs at Forecastle and LOCKN'.
It's good to know the winter is finally behind us and the spring is here. The March Playlist is filled with fresh tunes and makes the perfect soundtrack for tuning up the bike, cleaning off the golf clubs, or strolling through the park.
