White Lies Artist Snapshot:

Initially known as Fear of Flying, the English alternative-rock act White Lies rose to prominence in 2008, garnering much buzz in the British music press with its brooding Interpol-like sound. Fronted by charismatic, deep-voiced singer/guitarist Harry McVeigh, the band wears its Joy Division/Echo & the Bunnymen influences on its dark collective sleeve, as evinced on its '09 full-length debut, TO LOSE MY LIFE., which topped the U.K. album charts upon its release.

Review

Alternative Press (p.122) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "It's certainly steeped in the post-punk tradition of classic U.K. bands, a tuneful blend of gloomy synthesizer riffs and pining vocals from the Ian Curtis school."
Mojo (Publisher) (p.109) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "[I]t's the commanding neo-Walker Brothers aura of 'Nothing To Give' that points toward liberated greatness."

Title Note

White Lies: Harry McVeigh (vocals, guitars, keyboards); Charles Cave (bass guitar, background vocals); Jack Brown (drums).

Personnel: Cesar Gimeno (programming).

Recording information: Kore Studios, London.

Filled with anti-anthems like the title track, on which frontman Harry McVeigh encourages the song's muse and himself "to grow old together and die at the same time," the debut from this U.K. export is filled with contrastingly sunny keyboard choruses and deep, melancholic vocals. The most concise description of White Lies' well-polished, post-modern goth-pop would be its middle-ground between the Cars and Interpol, with Harry McVeigh's romantically cynical lyrics lending the distinction. And on "Fairwell To The Fairgrounds," where they manage to channel WAR-era U2, White Lies prove commendably worthy of their lofty influences.
