Whitney announce debut album ‘Light Upon the Lake’

Buzzy newcomers Whitney have wasted absolutely no time whatsoever in cracking on with their debut album - they’ve officially announced their first full-length ‘Light Upon the Lake’. It’s out on 3rd June via Secretly Canadian. The Neu-approved rabble put out the ace single ‘No Woman’ at the beginning of this year, and less Houston and more Western, they’re shaping up into a serious band to watch. Whitney’s core writing duo is former Unknown Mortal Orchestra member Julien Ehrlich, along with ex-Smith Westerns’ Max Kakacek. The band have also shared the lead single from ‘Light Upon the Lake’. Titled ‘Golden Days,’ it’s - on the surface, at least - a jauntier, more upbeat follow-up to ‘No Woman’. Look beyond those cheerfully stomping guitars, though, and it’s a bittersweet ode to lost memories and fast-moving time. As first glimpses go, it’s a doozy. ‘Golden Days’ also has a video to match, directed by Josiah Marshall & Frank Frankowski. Watch that below.
