PAARD 50: WHITE LIES

Friday 28 October 2022 2022

White Lies will be playing at PAARD on the 28th of October during PAARD50. It’s well over a decade since the band’s breakthrough single Death introduced a group for whom the fragility of human existence has been a constant touchstone. Now in his 30s, chief lyricist Cave’s outlook on the great unknown has evolved. “I think the side of death or mortality that I always find interesting is the fact we all know it’s going to happen,” he says, “and how different people navigate that.”

Recently a coherent album was emerging out of the mist, a record that streamlined everything great about White Lies from across their career: razor-sharp hooks, dark lyrical wit, defiant singalongs, airy soundscapes and dynamic instrumentation. Perhaps the agitated atmosphere can be heard on the album’s more feisty moments, such as the snarling outro of Roll December or the pummelling conclusion of closer There Is No Cure For It

“We’ll probably never make an album in the way we made this one again,” says Cave. “I think this could be one of our best albums,” says McVeigh. White Lies tested their resolve to get there, but they didn’t fall apart. They have emerged with their most vital collection of
songs in years.

Support: 
Tygo Ulta is a band consisting of Jelle Schoneveld and Olaf Kroon. With musical flavors ranging
from neurotic guitar sounds to mellow synth ballads, Tygo Ulta aims to explore the limits of beats
driven music. In their debut album ‘Supersuit’ they use driving synthesizer
sounds in combination with analog drums to blur the boundaries between musical genres.
