Whitney heeft nieuw album ‘Spark’ klaar en komen dit najaar naar De Roma

door Yannick Verhasselt

Indiepop meets rockband Whitney heeft een nieuw album klaar. ‘Spark’ verschijnt op 16 september via Secretly Canadian. In een statement vertelt Julien Ehrlich; “Max and I wrote “REAL LOVE” in June 2021 right after a cross-country move back to Chicago. I was experiencing heightened levels of anxiety and panic, while the entire city was re-emerging from isolation. I’ve been running away from and self-medicating my anxiety for as long as I can remember, but for whatever reason, it felt like it was time to dive straight into it. During late-night sessions over a two-week period, we captured the embrace of anxiety and fear in a way that resonated with us immediately. We spent the next few summer nights driving on Ashland with the windows down and the song turned up. It felt like an emotional and musical burst of light and we’re so grateful to finally be sharing that with people.

Luister hieronder naar de eerste single van de nieuwe plaat. Daarnaast stelt de band ook het album dit najaar voor in ons land. Whitney is op 8 november te zien in De Roma, met Fenne Lily in het voorprogramma. Tickets voor het concert zijn te koop vanaf 23 juni om 11u via de website van de zaal.
