White Denim announce 12" single with new track "Crystal Bullets"

"Crystal Bullets" follows their January EP Episode 3 which consisted of songs performed as part of James Petralli's collaboration show, and is also accompanied by a Jeremy Cohen-directed video starring Stephanie Hunt.

Petralli says of the new track, "The music for "Crystal Bullets" was inspired by the groove of the great Bernard Purdie and the signature chopped and screwed (slowed and throwed) production techniques of Houston, Texas’ Robert Davis Jr., better known as DJ Screw. The lyrics for "Crystal Bullets" were written by our longtime friend and collaborator Andy Pickett. In the late nineties Andy and I spent many hours cruising around Ft. Worth in a cloud, listening to Curtis Mayfield, Arthur Lee, Daft Punk, and Big Maybelle. Our years of friendship combined with our deep reverence for the masters and a willingness to try to measure up with our own work has led to another fresh piece of White Denim music that we couldn’t be more thrilled to share."

The new song also arrives alongside news of White Denim's upcoming 12" single, which will include a second new track titled "King Tears".
