Praise for D -

“WD are one of the best live bands you will ever see if you live to be a million. That’s not excitable hyperbole, merely a bald statement of undeniable fact” Time Out

“Is there nothing they can’t do?” 5/5 The Independent

“Their most thrillingly off-kilter record to date” 4/5 Mojo

“Another joyous rampage through rock’s dusty attic” 4/5 Q

“..exciting, stimulating, quite brilliant album” Uncut

“White Denim have never been less than terrific” NME

“An audacious, adventurous, unclassifiable fourth album” 8/10 Clash

“White Denim still have an urgency to their music – and it’s for this reason that music fans will be treating this more like an event than a release” 4/5 Artrocker
