This year at @thevinylcon in Los Angeles, we brought together two storied crate diggers: James Petralli, frontman of the genre-bending @whitedenimmusic, and the MTV legend @matthewpinfield. Link in bio to dig through the bins with them as they chat about James’ first records, his obsession with collecting "old things," and why the ritual of spinning records can’t be replaced.

It’s nearly here!! @whitedenimmusic’s absolute joy of a record “13” is out in one week 🙌 The reviews have been coming in and seems everyone else is digging the positive vibes this album is bringing… “A shape-shifting delight... 13 is an almost crazed explosion of ideas bearing dazzling testament to James Petralli’s very catholic musical tastes.” MOJO – 8/10 “LA band having a riot of their genre-fluid 13th album... With vast sonic excursions, there’s still a pleasing coherence and notable feeling of personality to White Denim’s ever expanding musical universe.” Uncut – 8/10 “The 13th White Demin album is an energised and inspired show of free-range focus. Containing multitudes, 13 glides fluently with a shape-shifting vim.” Record Collector – 8/10 Pre-order your physical or digital copy now!
