The Story
White Lies seventh album,Ā Night Light, comes to transparent mulberry LP with blue and white marble, limited to 500 copies and hand-numbered to order. The band took a fresh approach on the record, 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 ā a reversal of the process of finding the true spirit of songs only after touring them.
The band wrote much of the album in McVeighās 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 albumās energy. For the studio sessions, they recruited keyboardist Seth Evans, not just as support but as a creative collaborator.
During recording the band embraced a live, communal recording style, playing together to capture a raw, emotional sound. Tracks like āNothing On Meā and āAll The Bestā show their musical boldness, while songs like āEverything Is OKā and āJuiceā highlight their emotional depth and melodic strength.
Night LightĀ spans progressive rock, disco, and synth-driven soundscapes, showing a band both confident and creatively energized. The album closes with the pulsating āIn The Middleā, showcasing their unity and matured artistry.
