IN BARDO (LP)

White Arrows, a five-piece who met in Los Angeles, began touring almost as soon as they formed, hitting the road with Cults, White Denim and The ?Naked and Famous, and performing at festivals like Coachella and Sasquatch. The transitory, continuous nature of touring meant that their 2012 debut ?album, Dry Land Is Not A Myth, was created in bouts, pulled together over the course of almost two years. After Coachella last year, the band finally ?returned home with no obligations set out before them and allowed the creative process to take them whenever it would.?After meeting with several producers, White Arrows selected Jimmy Messer and spent last winter recording their second album with him at his Los ?Angeles studio The Tube. It was the band's first time making music in a real studio with a producer, and the musicians found the experience to be ideal. ?We loved it, Andrew adds. It was a very freeing experience. Jimmy had good perspective on guitar, which was helpful because that's where we were ?trying to shift. It was the most harmonious record-making process I've had with any band so far.?For White Arrows, In Bardo is the transition. It marks the end of one thing and the beginning of another. The songs, from moody album opener I Want A ?Taste to surging standout number Leave It Alone to the evocative two-part closer, represent the musicians' current mindset and inspirations, pulled ?cohesively together by their succinct process of creation. It is, as Mickey says, the band's real introduction into the world.?Leave It Alone premiered on Consequence of Sound on 5/19 and received highly regarded feedback from other notable blogs such as Baeblemusic, ?Iheartcomix, Audiofemme, buzzbands.la. The track was also picked up by both Sirius XMU and KROQ (who have already set White Arrows as a Locals ?Only feature).?They are going out with The Neighbourhood for a month around the US starting June 20th and we are currently waiting for more dates in August and ?around record release.?We're planning on releasing their second street track I Want A Taste 6/24 to help push The Neighbourhood tour dates and give away a 2 song cd ?sampler at shows to connect the dots between the tour and their new album.?1.
