White Lies - Ritual
It's finally time to start talking about some new music. I am really taken aback by this new album by White Lies. What really got me into it, though, was the short film they directed to go along with some of the tracks off the album. Genius, just pure genius. White Lies is from London, England and are comprised of Harry McVeigh (lead vocals, guitar), Charles Cave (bass guitar and backing vocals), and Jack Lawrence-Brown (drums). They cite their musical influences as The Talking Heads and The Secret Machines, but their sound has some other dark eighties sound in there as well, like Echo and the Bunnymen and Tears for Fears, or maybe They Might Be Giants. They produce a big sound for only three guys (they tour live with five, which tells me that some of that sound comes from the studio). Still, they have great lyrics and I really like Harry's vocals. It would be fun to see these guys live at a medium size venue. Watch the short film below.
