White Denim – Workout Holiday
Released June 23, 2008 (on their European label, Full Time Hobby).
So...forgive a guy for being skeptical. Yeah, yeah, White Denim were lauded in Rolling Stone, and influential music blog Gorilla vs. Bear touts them so regularly it’s almost embarrassing…when this much hype is
brewing in the music world about a band who hasn’t even released a full
album, the raising of eyebrows is nothing less than natural. After
all, there was Vampire Weekend, and we’ve all seen the shitstorm of
divisiveness they’ve caused, what with half the world thinking they are
the Second Coming (in cardigans, no less), and the other half of the
world thinking they're Afrobeat-appropriating snobs who should just lay
back on their yachts and shut their mouths. But let’s give White Denim
a chance. If only because they’re from Texas, and have honed their
chops on the Austin scene.
White Denim perform Lets Talk About It live at the Little Radio/Noise Pop party at The Red Eyed Fly in Austin, TX on March 12th, 2008 brought to you by Little Radio, Noise Pop and Wolfgangs Vault.
