White Lies
To Lose My Life

"London"
As usual, it's London that gives birth to yet another Anglo-Saxon band of the moment. We are talking about White Lies, an indie band that winks at more renowned bands like Interpol and Editors.

Their album "To Lose My Life" is indeed an album that connects closely to the works of the aforementioned groups, well-present guitars and slightly dark atmospheres, are the glue that connects these bands.

"To Lose My Life" is a pleasant and well-played record, that does not fall into the banal and does not bore the listener after several listens (something that happens all too often lately with other works: latest works of Bloc Party above all).

The fortune of White Lies has been, as is also the case for many other London bands, being acclaimed and well-promoted by magazines like NME. A fortune, however, well managed by the group, which has produced a well-crafted work, in which there are direct ballads and a few good hits, such as "A Place To Hide," a beautiful track that recalls quite a bit the atmospheres created by Bloc Party, or "To Lose My Life" which in turn undeniably reminds one of Interpol.

In short, "To Lose My Life" is a pleasant album, which lacks a bit of personality being too similar to what is already present in the market, but which rightfully carves out a place in the current indie scene, hoping for a second album to be a little less like Interpol and a bit more like White Lies.
