Aug 21, 2018This record is a far cry from a mocking treatise on performativity; it's strongly felt, unceasingly surprising and just a whole lot of fun.
-
Aug 23, 2018Even with all the jazz, jams, and wonky improvisations, the nine tracks of musicians' music remain fun, unpretentious.
-
UncutAug 21, 2018Performance is expertly weighted between great hooks and loose, Southern-styled jams that dare you to shake a leg. [Sep 2018, p.39]
-
MojoAug 21, 2018Performance is White Denim's most produced album, thickly textured with brass, keyboards and studio atmospheres. Play it loud, though, and you easily imagine the euphoria at the bar after every track. [Sep 2018, p.84]
-
Q MagazineAug 21, 2018A perfect late-summer soundtrack on a par with their 2009 masterpiece Fits. [Sep 2018, p.114]
-
Aug 24, 2018Performance doesn’t necessarily take White Denim in a drastically different direction, but it captures so many of the different sides of the band’s multi-faceted sound that it feels expansive and wholesome.
-
Aug 23, 2018Performance may be lacking in progress, but the effortlessness of their experiments is still very much present, and nine albums in, White Denim remain as playful as ever. Overall, longtime fans of the band are likely to be satisfied, if not dazzled, by their latest effort.
