White Lies have shared new track “Finish Line“, taken from their upcoming album, Five due out 1st February. Already established as a band favourite, lyricist and bass player Charles
“We are all hugely attached to this song, and really excited to share it prior to the album being released. Much like album-opener Time To Give, the track has an ambitious structure – one emanating from our love of Prog.” Going on to detail its origins; “At its heart, it’s a simple song about a young couple’s break-up negotiations, I like to hope the music itself takes the listener through the emotional ups and downs. It’s up there as one of our best songs and we hope our fans think so too.”
The band are also pleased to announce details of a unique partnership with the help of the
Having started using Kobigraph in the album artwork designs, the band became very passionate about including some tactile braille in the campaign. Unfortunately, due to mass-market practicalities it soon became apparent that it would have to be a more bespoke, limited item but one that fans would want to keep.
Cave takes up the story…“I got in touch with the RNIB, somewhat unsure as to whether they’d be interested at all, but their reaction was immediately one of enthusiasm as it was a project they’d never seen the like of before. Working closely with them and our artist Casey Roarty, we soon found a way of producing a book-size edition that would safely keep the braille usable and be an aesthetically beautiful item.”
The RNIB’s Brenda Ramsey adds; “The RNIB and White Lies collaboration has been an exciting project. We worked with the band to translate the lyrics of Five into braille and then printed them in a beautiful limited-edition book. The donations RNIB receives from each book will go directly to supporting our work in creating a society without barriers for people with sight loss.”
Limited to a run of 500 hand numbered copies – with a £10 donation from every sale going to RNIB. Available to purchase via whitetlies.com
