White Lies approached their seventh album, Night Light, with a fresh method: mastering the songs live before recording them. Inspired by the 1970s live-performance TV show The Midnight Special, the trio decided to rehearse and refine the tracks together in a room before entering the studio – a reversal of the process of finding the true spirit of songs only after touring them.
The band wrote much of the album in McVeigh’s London flat, opting for simplicity over gear-heavy setups. They focused on songwriting and chemistry, relying on their 17-year musical bond to shape the album’s energy. For the studio sessions, they recruited keyboardist Seth Evans, not just as support but as a creative collaborator. It was produced by Riley McIntyre and mixed by Chris Coady at The Church Studios, London.
During recording the band embraced a live, communal recording style, playing together to capture a raw, emotional sound. Tracks like ‘Nothing On Me’ and ‘All The Best’ show their musical boldness, while songs like ‘Everything Is OK’ and ‘Juice’ highlight their emotional depth and melodic strength.
Night Light spans progressive rock, disco, and synth-driven soundscapes, showing a band both confident and creatively energized. The album closes with the pulsating ‘In The Middle’, showcasing their unity and matured artistry.
Now 16 years into their career, White Lies have fully embraced who they are as a band, delivering one of their most cohesive and inspired works to date. As McVeigh reflects, “We finally know what we’re doing.”
Finally, having released their much loved & lauded debut, To Lose My Life… in 2009, White Lies have arguably become one of the biggest guitar bands in the UK - the last two album tours saw them sell out multiple Brixton Academy shows and the Hammersmith Apollo in London – and the past decade has also seen the band establish themselves globally with sold out tours in Europe and beyond, including a sold-out show at Mexico City’s 10,000 capacity Pepsi Center in 2023.
