White Lies – Friends

Friends fills the space. The new album from White Lies expands to fill emotional spaces, physical spaces and musical spaces.

Physically the listener will feel it just above their heart and to the right, in each breath, in both lungs, in a fully expanded chest. Emotionally they will feel it behind the eyes, in the throat and pricking between the ribs. Musically it expands beyond the ears, beyond the brain, only in the mind, taking up the space and radiating out through the nervous system. Encircling the heart, fuelling the breath and tickling the hairs from beneath the skin, making them stand up.

White Lies press a button that starts physical and emotional processes through their listener’s responsive bodies. It takes up space that previously didn’t exist and refills it with more of the listener. (SP)
