At times there's a sullen, down-in-the-mouth restraint to White Denim's music that's thrilling to behold. Here on "Mirrored And Reverse", the first track to be lifted from new album Fits, that barely-managed sulk is in full swing: drummer Josh Block focused like a 'phet-gobbling long distance lorry driver, his steady beat sticking to the endless white line in the centre of the road as guitars flare up all around in agitated bursts of flange and stomp-box squeal. Ruefully for a band unsigned in their native land, White Denim's sound is all-American, but that's not to say it's pointlessly or excessively derivative. They're just the latest in a deep rock lineage and criticising them for that is like hollering at a boy for having his dad's eyes.
