White Laces

White Laces are a band from Richmond, VA. The cassette reissue Sick of Summer combines the band's first self-titled EP from 2011 with various vinyl-only tracks released before the band's first proper LP, Moves. All the tracks have been remastered and serve as a reminder of when the band were so loud they were banned from venues due to sheer volume.

"TRANCE" contains 11 tracks and a total running time of 42:37. Featuring two singles "Skate or Die" and "Nothing Clicks" the full length album was recorded in early 2014 / Philadelphia with Jeff Zeigler whose lengthy rap sheet includes work with The War On Drugs, Nothing and Purling Hiss. "Trance is retro-tinged with that '80s haze that cloaked so much of the best rock 'n' roll lately. It feels like a flesh-and-blood rock band pensively forging ahead through a digital mirage. There's also a song called "Keith Sweat" that somehow sounds like Tom Petty, Wild Nothing, and Jimmy Eat World at the same time. (Alas, it doesn't sound like Keith Sweat.) Enjoy the album in its entirety below." - Stereogum

Their new record No Floor (release date Sept 30th) was self produced in 2015 with additional overdubs made at Richmond's own Spacebomb Studios and was mixed at Uniform Record in Philadelphia, PA by Jeff Zeigler in early 2016. The record finds the band foregoing their traditional guitar/bass/drums setup to explore more electronic and sample-based composition and introduces three-part harmonies featuring the band's newest member on record, Tori Hovater. Live, the band has expanded into a tight five-piece unit who have spun the new material into an expansive cocoon of sound.
