White Lies will return next year with their sixth album, ‘As I Try Not To Fall Apart’

  • September 27, 2021

White Lies have announced the details for their forthcoming sixth album, ‘As I Try Not To Fall Apart’.

Set for release on 18th February 2022, the news comes alongside the album’s title track, which is streaming now and has just been added to the Dork Radio playlist. Tune in now at readdork.com/radio to hear it in rotation.

The band explain: “We wrote this song quickly, late one night, and often the songs which come quickest are written from the gut and the heart, not with the head. We wanted the melody to feel like a hymn, to give the confessional lyrics weight despite being wrapped up as a pop song. It’s about accepting vulnerability as a man, and knowing it’s ok to be broken. There’s never been a more pressing time to spread the message that it’s ok to not be ok.”

It comes alongside a video directed by James Arden, aka The Trash Factory. Talking about. the clip, he reveals: “The track made me think of people trying to lift themselves out of emotional spirals – navigating feelings of fragility and fighting everyday pressures just so they can keep it together – and it made me think about how we can be buried and overwhelmed by our feelings and emotions, and how we could explore that, visually”

“Being buried in sand was too mad to pass up,” adds frontman Harry McVeigh. “The sensation was really chilling and I was picking sand out of my ears for days, but I’m thrilled with the video, it really carries the message of the song and it looks beautiful.”

‘As I Try Not To Fall Apart’ was recorded at Sleeper and Assault & Battery studios in West London, and sees long-term collaborator Ed Buller – who has worked on many of their albums including their debut ‘To Lose My Life…’ – return to produce several tracks along with Claudius Mittendorfer (Weezer, Panic! At The Disco) also producing and mixing the entire album.

As well as the album, and the new track, White Lies are also announcing an extensive run of UK and European shows for next Spring. You can check them out, as well as the tracklisting for ‘As I Try Not To Fall Apart’, after the jump.
