White Denim have unveiled their new album '12', and shared early single 'Light On'
The band's 12th LP is set for release on 6th December.
White Denim have announced their 12th studio album.
The aptly-titled '12' is set for release on 6th December through Bella Union, and was recorded during a transitional period for frontman James Petralli, follows his 2023 collaborative record with Raze Regal.
Petralli, an Austin, Texas native, relocated to Los Angeles with his family in the spring of 2021 following the passing of his partner's father. The record emerged as a direct response to these turbulent times, with Petralli balancing his roles as both a father and a musician.
Ahead of the LP's release, the group have shared the lead single, 'Light On'. He says of the track: "Light On is the first song I wrote for this new collection. It mostly took its shape while I played my son's guitar, both of us crammed onto his twin mattress with my partner reading for all of us from my daughter's bed on the other side of the room. It is as influenced by Shel Silverstein as Elvin Jones. Over the years I spent creating this work this particular song served as an encouragement and a consistent reminder to focus on the positive and to continue creating with little regard for potential outcomes."
The tracklist for '12' is as follows:
1. Light On
2. Econolining
3. Flash Bare Ass
4. Cat City #2
5. Look Good
6. Second Dimension
7. I Still Exist
8. Your Future As God
9. Swinging Door
10. We Can Move Along
11. Hand Out Giving
12. Precious Child
