Chicago duo Whitney is set to return with a new studio album, Small Talk. They’ve shared the new single, “Dandelions.” Listen to it below.
The band’s fourth album, Small Talk will arrive on November 7th via AWAL. They began self-producing the LP in the summer of 2024. “Dandelions” follows Whitney’s most recent song, album track “Darling,” which dropped in May.
“A couple years ago Max (Kakacek) and I were both on the brink of moving across the country to be closer to the people we were dating at the time,” Whitney’s Julien Ehrlich said of the breezy, sun-kissed song “Dandelions” in a press statement. “Over the span of a few months both relationships somewhat abruptly crumbled, leaving us with equal parts confusion and sadness, mourning the futures that would have accompanied those relationships as well as the relationships themselves. Inspired by those events (and on a whim of Midwestern pride) we wound up spinning the story of ‘Dandelions’ into one of a big city hopeful who gets chewed up and spit back out into the heartland.”
Whitney have already revealed a slew of upcoming North American dates, including a run of opening sets for Caamp and Shakey Graves. Later on this month, they’ll set off on a headlining tour, with many dates featuring support from Folk Bitch Trio. See the full itinerary below, and get tickets here.
