White Arrows Bring “We Can’t Ever Die”

White Arrows Release “We Can’t Ever Die” Video Sophomore Album In Bardo Out Now On Votiv
Fall Tour Dates Announced

“The Los Angeles fivesome indeed puree a slew of equatorial guitar sounds and rhythms and textures, which combined, bridge the gap
between Animal Collective and Foreign Born.” – SPIN

“A well-balanced blend of electronic, rock, and global instrumentation, and easily digestible dance-friendly rhythms” – The AV Club

“The quintet hits pop and calypso flavors along the way, finding itself slotted alongside Vampire Weekend and Animal Collective…Nicely done” – Under The Radar

White Arrows released a new video for “We Can’t Ever Die” from the band’s sophomore In Bardo which is out now on Votiv. The video premiered on VEVO and was directed by Evan Brace (Phantogram). White Arrows’ Mickey Church said, “We flew out to Nashville to work with someone we had never actually met in person. You never know how videos are going to turn out from reading it on the page- your imagination fills in the blanks differently than everybody else’s. Evan and I had a lot of back and forth with visual references, so we knew we could at least be on the same page stylistically & tonally. It feels timeless and new at the same time. Glad we flew to Nashville off no sleep for a delirious blur of a music video shoot that ended up being something beautiful and fitting for the song.” White Arrows also released a remix of “We Can’t Ever Die” by Ricky Eat Acid. The remix premiered at Impose Magazine who said, “We Can’t Ever Die” gets a whole new lease on life and energy, brokered by Ricky Eat Acid. Sam Ray [of Ricky Eat Acid], the shape-shifting pitch-purée artist continues to keep us re-imagining the possibilities outside the conventions of familiar musical comforts and structures.” White Arrows’ In Bardo is available now on CD and LP and digitally through iTunes.

White Arrows have announced a fall headlining tour in support of In Bardo. The upcoming tour will include stops in major west coast cities including San Francisco, Portland, Seattle and more. All shows are listed below and additional tour dates will be announced in the coming weeks. The tour follows up the spring’s successful tour with The Neighbourhood and a sold out headlining show at The Troubadour in Los Angeles. White Arrows also played MTV’s VMA Artist to Watch Concert at The Avalon. The band performed alongside Bleachers and Charli XCX. Pervious bands that played at this event include The Neighbourhood, New Politics, and Wildcat! Wildcat!. Additionally, White Arrows were Los Angeles’ Alt 98.7 Artist In Residence for the month of September.

Bardo is defined as a transitional state of being, the phase of existence between death and rebirth. It marks the end of one thing and the beginning of another. It represents an evolution, which is why the title of White Arrows’ second album, In Bardo, is so appropriate. The Los Angeles indie rock band found themselves in a new plane of being after touring extensively since their inception, hitting the road with bands such as Cults, White Denim, The Naked and Famous, and performing at festivals like Coachella and Sasquatch. The band finally grounded themselves enough to create a cohesive work that reflected the musicians’ present mindset. Songs like “Leave It Alone” represent the musicians’ current mindset and inspirations. For White Arrows, In Bardo is the transition. It marks the end of one thing and the beginning of another.
