White Denim have shared new single “Ruby,” a track lifted from their forthcoming album 13 available April 24 via Bella Union (Dirty Three, Laura Groves). White Denim has also announced a new run of live dates, starting May 28 in Las Vegas.

James Petralli shares, “I wrote a version of “Ruby” quite a few years ago. Every few months the melody would pop back into my mind for a while before drifting out again. I picked up a few old cassette recorders at a neighborhood flea market that warbled audio in a way that vividly sparked a memory of the texture of the first few bars of “Street Fighting Man” by The Rolling Stones. This was enough for me to begin chasing the production of the song in earnest. I get really excited about making direct connections between my work and the history of rock and roll. I’m not really a purist. I do however feel that attempting to build something new upon existing foundations that represents my friends and I is about the most enjoyable and life affirming way I’ve found to spend time.”

Community and connection is the backbone of White Denim’s dynamic new album. Imbued with the same questing spirit that’s been the band’s trademark since first starting in Austin, Texas, some 20 years ago, the new collection is strapped with commentary on power, generational cycles of abuse, shame, violence, and survival while urgently committing to the importance of family and creative freedom.
