WHITE LIES New Song Review // “Come On”

WHITE LIES have unveiled new track Come On.

Come On is a follow-up to the first single Take It Out On Me taken from the band’s highly-anticipated fourth studio album Friends which will be out later this year.

The new offering serves a clash of emotions hidden in McVeigh‘s deep soaring vocals, confident guitars and building-up drums, all beautifully delivered on a multi-layered structure with an electro twist.

Charles Cave (bass / BVs) said on the track:

“Come On” was a late addition to the album, and we had made multiple demos of it, but until we tore it to pieces and put them together again, it had stayed in our back pocket. We couldn’t be more pleased with how it turned out, and feel it’s set to be a real live favourite. It’s a song about when any noise feels too loud, and any quiet feels too unnerving; when there’s things that need to be said that have been bothering you, but you’re not sure you’ll ever be ready to say them.

Friends was recorded in Bryan Ferry’s private studio in London’s Olympia and was self-produced by the band. White Lies enlisted the help of an expert team including Grammy Award-winning engineer James Brown (Foo Fighters, Arctic Monkeys), David Wrench (Caribou, FKA Twigs) on mixing duties and long-term collaborator Ed Buller who contributed additional production.

The album Friends is due for release on October 7th via BMG.
