White Reaper have announced their new album.
The follow-up to 2019's 'You Deserve Love' is called 'Asking For A Ride' and will arrive on January 27 via Elektra Entertainment.
Recorded and self-produced in Nashville with engineer Jeremy Ferguson, it'll include the newly shared catchy power-pop single, Pages, which comes paired with a video directed by the legendary Lance Bangs. Vocalist and guitarist Tony Esposito said:
"It seems like Pages could've easily existed on one of our earlier records, it’s just a few chords and a simple melody; but because of that, I'd say that it’s pretty unique to the rest of our new album. We can't wait to show everyone what we've been working on."
Bangs commented: "White Reaper are a joy to make things with, five guys that are good company in recording studios, house parties, live shows, and anywhere else you can spend time among them. We had a great experience shooting saturated colour motion picture film on handheld cameras for the Real Long Time video for their previous album, and I wanted to get everyone together for an outdoor daylight look in one of my favourite architectural public spaces, the Keller Fountain in Portland Oregon. It was designed in the late 60s and opened to the public in 1970. It's an enduring free space where people can spend time. We filmed on a bright, warm afternoon and conjured up a video that feels like the song: dynamic, catchy, genuine."
The Louisville rock quintet will support the release with a headline North American tour in February and March.
