White Lies have announced their seventh album ‘Night Light’ and shared the new single ‘In The Middle’ – check it out below.
The London trio – made up of Harry McVeigh, Charles Cave and Jack Lawrence-Brown – will release the record on November 7 via Play It Again Sam and you can pre-order/pre-save it here.
They recently released the album’s lead single ‘Nothing On Me’, and now they have followed it up with the album’s closing track. The six-minute ‘In The Middle’ comes as a pulsing, hypnotic track that centres around expansive synths and driving bass, with an epic instrumental outro.
Listen here:
The band have said: “The lyrics to the verses for ‘In The Middle’ have been written in notebooks for nearly a decade, waiting for the right vessel, which has finally presented itself in this hypnotic and locomotive piece of music.”
“It’s a song about moving, not necessarily moving on, but moving to another emotional place needed for growth. It also gives you another taste of our musical growth on this forthcoming album where we fully let our hair and scalps down to embrace a more experimental side of arrangement. And, by the way, it’s a saxophone, not a flute.”
The new album is the first from the band since 2022’s ‘As I Try Not To Fall Apart’ and it was recorded at The Church Studios in the capital, produced by Riley MacIntyre (Ezra Collective, Arlo Parks) and mixed by Chris Coady (Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Blondshell, Beach House).
