White Denim is a bluesy, jazzy, garage-rock trio, hailing from Austin, Texas USA. According to vocalist/guitarist James Petralli, White Denim’s songs are the musical manifestations of abstract paintings or philosophical tracts.

Adoro la banda, pero sus trabajos anteriores me parecen mucho más memorables.
I quite reductively complimented it as “hipster Allman brothers” in excitedly sharing it with friends after cursory listens. In truth, it’s much more than that. It’s electrifyingly experimental, but not for the sake of being so. It just incorporates a world of sounds so subtly it’s unreal. Its strongest quality is that, even in its sometimes too-much ambition, it can melt into a kind of heady jamming that plays so seamlessly – it’s actually best enjoyed as a single piece of music – that putting it on repeat entails an endless supply of bliss. It’s a record that always stays just ahead of you, but keeps you right there in the fold. Man, it’s good stuff.
