Community and connection are the backbone of White Denim’s dynamic new album. A groove-heavy alchemy of rock, funk, dubby calypso, soul, down-dirty blues, and shimmery sunshine-pop, 13 is strapped with commentary on power, generational cycles of abuse, shame, violence, and survival while urgently committing to the importance of family and creative freedom.
The latter is lovingly addressed on the temperate new single “Time Time,” which rolls into the kind of soulful, horn-gilded territory that earmarked White Denim’s previous album, 2024’s critically lauded 12.
Petralli shares, “It’s a sort of promise that, as long as I’m alive, I will try to prioritise my wife and children and our relationships above all else.”
This is a key theme of 13. “I felt that I had to write about my life and experience as a middle-aged dad trying to do better for a family and make sense of this life through making art,” he adds.
In addition to Petralli being born on the thirteenth of August, the album title holds multi-significance sprinkled throughout the album. ‘13’ in numerology can signify independence, creativity, and a solid foundation, but inversely is often considered to be unlucky and can signify chaos and misfortune. It also happens to be the thirteenth album of White Denim’s career.
