Side Effects (Vinyl)

Though they are from Austin, and started out as a punk power trio, much of White Denim’s ninth studio album, 2019’s Side Effects, sounds like it could have been recorded by a psychedelic rock band in Los Angeles in 1969. That fuzz-tone, reverb, and echo-pedal sound is pretty much the aesthetic the band has been aiming for since at least 2011…. Essentially, Side Effects showcases White Denim’s knack for making ’60s- and ’70s-style psychedelic garage rock that feels authentic but retains the modern punk energy that made their early albums so engaging. – All Music
