White Denim • Corsicana Lemonade • Downtown Records • Producers: Jeff Tweedy, Jim Vollentine • Score: 8 out of 10
Austin rockers White Denim have released their sixth studio album from Downtown Records. This time around they have teamed with Wilco legend Jeff Tweedy for production purposes. White Denim are the Black Keys with a doctorate degree. This is psychedelic southern, math rock at its finest with rhythmic creativity that keeps you on your toes while remaining catchy enough to tap your feet. A satisfying mix of flannel fuzz rock (“At Night in Dreams,” “Limited by Stature”) with molten sweet soulful tunes (“A Place to Start,” “New Blue Feeling”) and as always, the boys add a welcomed hint of twang. – Ted Jamison
