White lies - Night Light

NEW VINYL LP ON PLAY IT AGAIN SAM 2025

180 GRAM VINYL.

White Lies approached their seventh album, Night Light, with a fresh method: mastering the songs live before recording them. Inspired by the 1970s live-performance TV show The Midnight Special, the trio decided to rehearse and refine the tracks together in a room before entering the studio – a reversal of the process of finding the true spirit of songs only after touring them. The band wrote much of the album in McVeigh’s London flat, opting for simplicity over gear-heavy setups. They focused on songwriting and chemistry, relying on their 17-year musical bond to shape the album’s energy. For the studio sessions, they recruited keyboardist Seth Evans, not just as support but as a creative collaborator. Night Light spans progressive rock, disco, and synth-driven soundscapes, showing a band both confident and creatively energized. The album closes with the pulsating ‘In The Middle’, showcasing their unity and matured artistry.
