Whitney have announced a new album, Small Talk, which will be out November 7 via AWAL. Max Kakacek and Julien Ehrlich produced it themselves and after flirting with synthesizers on 2022’s SPARK, they are firmly back in the classic Whitney, country-tinged soul sound.
The album includes “Darling,” which was released back in May, and they’ve just shared the album’s second single. “A couple years ago Max and I were both on the brink of moving across the country to be closer to the people we were dating at the time,” Julian says. “Over the span of a few months both relationships somewhat abruptly crumbled, leaving us with equal parts confusion and sadness, mourning the futures that would have accompanied those relationships as well as the relationships themselves. Inspired by those events (and on a whim of Midwestern pride) we wound up spinning the story of ‘Dandelions’ into one of a big city hopeful who gets chewed up and spit back out into the heartland.”
Watch the video for “Dandelions” below.
Whitney are on tour now with Caamp, and have dates in August with Folk Bitch Trio, including Woodstock’s Levon Helm Studio on 8/7 and Asbury Park’s The Stone Pony on 8/10. All dates are listed below.
