Light Upon The Lake (LP)

Whitney is a band formed from the core of guitarist Max Kakacek (ex-Smith Westerns) and singing drummer Julien Ehrlich (ex-Unknown Mortal Orchestra). Their debut album Light Upon the Lake is due for release on the 3rd of June. “Ehrlich and Kakacek successfully eke out what is depressingly victorious and ultimately pyrrhic about abandoning the homestead for the mirage of greener pastures.” – Pitchfork “Whitney’s fri­endship and songwriting partnership is coming into its prime.” – The Verge “The beautiful arrangement of exultant horns, rhythmic twangy guitar layers, and subtle percussion smoothly soothes.” – Stereogum
