Product Description
With their third album, Inanimate Objects of the 21st Century, Newcastles The Pale White prove once again that theres no slowing them down. Following the success of their introspective sophomore album The Big Sad, brothers Adam vocalsguitar and Jack Hope drums return louder, sharper, and more defiant than ever. This third fulllength is their most expansive yet a record that blends the anthemic punch of classic rock with the urgency and edge of modern alternative.The title, Inanimate Objects of the 21st Century, is a nudge to the uncomfortable irony of our time as technology accelerates, humanity feels increasingly frozen in place. Lead singer Adam Hope says Technology is moving, but we are not. Human civilization entered the 21st century wideeyed and naive with mobile phones that would barely fit in our pockets. Fast forward a few decades and were so far from where we were that it almost looks like a bad 80s scifi movie. Back then, that film would be watched in packedout cinemas after an eagerly anticipated release, but now they stand emptier than they once were, attended mainly as a nostalgic experience in the age of Netflix and doomscrolling.The birth of AI, algorithms, cryptocurrency, drones, holographic concerts, autonomous cars were living in a strange transitional period which is both fascinating and terrifying in equal measure. We humans have now in fact become the inanimate objects mannequins.After our softer, melancholic second album The Big Sad, we felt it was only right to move as fast as our world is moving and release our next within the year. Inanimate Objects of the 21st Century is the evil twin, the Yin to The Big Sads Yang.Tracklisting1. Moth In The Headlights2. Float Away3. Gbekli Tepe4. Absolute Cinema5. Oh Brother6. Medusa7. Carpe Diem8. Mannequin9. This Fascination10. Disappoint Me11. All I Have To Do Is DreamThe difficult second album, they say. We spent 6 years building to our debut, only to release it during a global pandemic So no, there was nothing difficult about this one. In fact, things couldnt have been clearer. Whilst observing other bands die in their red pillblue pill predicament, we fanned the flames, applied pressure and produced a diamond.Following 2023039s 039A New Breed039 EP, which we jokingly call the Decoy EP039... we prepared for The Big Sad. An album born from the ashes of those dark times, and represents a beacon of light for the future. An album of honesty and purity, that our current fan base sonically may not be expecting. The sound of a band that got tired of slamming on the fuzz pedal to tick the rock box and dares to try something new, dares to shock, and dares to be great. This is an album for us, and we dare people to join us.Tracklisting1. Lost In The Moment2. Final Exit3. Woolly Thunder4. Im Sorry This Time5. January, Please6. Preparing For The Big Sad7.
