White Denim Releases 13th Album, 13

White Denim has reached its 13th album with 13. The album brings together elements of rock, funk, dubby calypso, soul, blues and sunshine-pop. The band has used genre boundaries flexibly across its 13 albums.

James Petralli says he wrote 13 from his experiences as a middle-aged father trying to become better for his life and family. The album addresses his current life through fatherhood, marriage and creativity. Its title is connected to his birth date and the fact that it is the group’s 13th album.

Time Time deals with Petralli’s determination to keep his family at the center of his life. The song has a structure that connects to the sound of White Denim’s 2024 album 12.

White Denim will take 13 to North American stages in October. The tour begins October 1 at The Earl in Atlanta, Georgia.
