13

13, the thirteenth album of White Denim's career, is an incandescent, groove-heavyalchemy of rock, funk, dub, soul and down-dirty blues - and plenty more besides- it's imbued with the same questing spirit that's been the band's trademark sincefirst starting in Austin, Texas, some 20 years ago. Petralli's wide-ranging musicalappetites have become more voracious over time. The sounds and textures of '13'are informed by everyone from Scritti Politti to The Gap Band, Terry Reid to KingTubby, Caetano Veloso to John Cale, Stevie Wonder to '80s-era Steve Winwood.Such diversity is refl ected in multi-faceted gems like "(God Created) Lock And Key","Only A Fool" and "That's Rap".For Fans Of: Ty Segall, King Gizzard & The Wizard Lizard, Grateful Dead
