13: Yellow Vinyl LP

Label: Bella Union
Release Date: 24th April

White Denim's James Petralli can do all the musics and jam them out like a master of all of them, on lucky album '13' he's well and truly flexing. 

13, the thirteenth album of White Denim's career, is an incandescent, groove-
heavy alchemy of rock, funk, dub, soul and down-dirty blues - and plenty more
besides - it's imbued with the same questing spirit that's been the band's
trademark since first starting in Austin, Texas, some 20 years ago
Petralli's wide-ranging musical appetites have become more voracious over time. The
sounds and textures of '13' are informed by everyone from Scritti Politti to The Gap
Band, Terry Reid to King Tubby, Caetano Veloso to John Cale, Stevie Wonder to '80s-
era Steve Winwood. Such diversity is reflected in multi- faceted gems like "(God
Created) Lock And Key", "Only A Fool" and "That's Rap".
