Whitelands' second album Sunlight Echoes builds on their elemental debut with a more expansive sound that takes them out of the shoegaze shadows to somewhere bigger, better and brighter. Produced by long-time collaborator Ian Flynn and mixed by double Grammy Award-winner Eduardo De La Paz (New Order, The Horrors, The Charlatans, The KVB, Drug Store Romeos), there are soaring string arrangements (by Iskra Strings) and lush guest vocals from labelmate Emma Anderson. With maturity comes a new-found confidence, so not only are there stunning melodies everywhere, but Etienne's vocals are front and center throughout. The first half of the album has an almost Britpop breeziness, that belies the serious subject matter that inspired the songs, while the second half gets heavier, in all senses, with added grit and gravitas. Sunlight Echoes is a poetic, melodic statement of intent from this formidable band. Whitelands have fought back and triumphed in the face of adversity. Also available on green (SCR 340I-LP) and yellow color vinyl (SCR 340LP).
