WHITNEY – CANDID
Following their acclaimed sophomore 2019 album
Forever Turned Around, Whitney have decided to
return with a loving tribute to songs that have been
formative and lasting to the entire band.
Candid is a 10-song collection boasting covers of
artists like Kelela, David Byrne, John Denver, SWV,
and others but it's also a band challenging
themselves to explore more than their musical
comfort zone.
"This could've been as simple as saying we really love
these songs and we love our bandmates and making
a covers record just felt right but it truly became an
exploration into how we can evolve as a band going
forward," says drummer and singer Julien Ehrlich.
Covers have long been an integral part of Whitney's
ethos. Ever since the band first formed in a Chicago
apartment in 2014, tackling songs by the Everly
Brothers, Allen Toussaint, and more played an
important part in the songwriting process for their
breakthrough 2016 debut Light Upon The Lake.
Since then, their takes on NRBQ's "Magnet" and Neil
Young's "On the Way Home" have become live
staples, an essential and communal part of their sets.
…. The LP is a sincere snapshot of their evolving and
eclectic tastes that's imbued with a wholly inviting
charm. It's Whitney at their most unvarnished and
inventive but most importantly, it's a heartfelt tribute
to the songwriters who've helped them most.
