Driving into work this morning felt like listening to a mixtape I had made in my tweens that just made the morning smell a bit better in the Spring. And I ain’t talkin’ about Robyn and Janet Jack on the same reel, but darker shit, like The Cure, Smiths, Joy Division, etc. Every day on that bus afterward felt like I was SUCH a bad ass and *CLICK… flips tape*. I imagine this same bit will happen to White Hex this Spring-into-Summer, but via MP3 instead of tape. Especially with their newest track “Gold.” Saying to could sway to this all night would be wrong because there’d be at LEAST two mornings between the nights and your stopping time. Like, you might actually dance longer than the weekend and have to miss work on Mondays just ‘cause you tapped into that cold vein of White Hex’s vex. So, coming down off their first single “Paradise,” from their new album Gold Nights (available for pre-order on CD or LP) on Felte, “Gold” is a special trip deeper into their rabbit hole of sound.
Tara Green and Jimi Kritzler popped off their White Hex name in 2012 with the album Heat. Now, they’re slow-hula-hooping that minimal synth Italo-style out in waves of bruised beat and sacred harmony. Like a crisp suit and slicked back hair, your shades will only reflect the “Gold” that shines radiant in the moonlight. White Hex’s Gold Nights is out June 24 on Felte. “Gold” is streaming bright below:
