White Denim are an Austin, Texas band formed in 2006, and they play like a record collection that has been left out in the sun until everything melted together: psychedelic rock, blues, punk, prog, soul, jazz and dub, all tangled up in one groove. They like to work at home, jam their way into songs, stack up loops and then take the song structures somewhere you didn't expect.
With James Petralli in the lineup, the band's records sound like they were made by people having far too much fun to worry about genre. "Drug", from 2011, is laid-back and sun-dazed, while Corsicana Lemonade in 2013 gave them "Pretty Green", a tight, strutting little rocker that shows how sharp they can get when they rein it in.
Stiff, in 2016, brought "Had 2 Know (Personal)", which is about as close as they come to a straight-up party jam, with the band's soul leanings right out front.
