WHITEHORSE ANNOUNCES NEW ALBUM,

PANTHER IN THE DOLLHOUSE.

ROCK N' ROLL DUO TEASES DETAILS ABOUT THEIR NEXT FULL-LENGTH,
COMING 5/12/17 ON SIX SHOOTER RECORDS.

TURN ON / KISS OFF: Watch the new video for "Boys Like You," out today via Noisey.

Whitehorse trades some shade in a new video for “Boys Like You,” released today. Directed by Edmonton’s Trevor Anderson, an award-winning filmmaker whose work has appeared at Sundance and TIFF, the video for “Boys Like You” echoes the song’s 90s recall with slinky glam and winking artifice. "Whitehorse is ready to gloriously bust some balls again," writes Noisey in today's premiere piece. "The video places all the tension of the tune between the two of them, coasting along through photo shoots, backstages, green rooms, and live shows."

The video leads the band's announcement that there will be a new full-length album, called Panther In The Dollhouse, out May 12, 2017 on Six Shooter Records.

On this new album, Whitehorse takes a place of wholesome, conventional domesticity and sets loose a wild animal to stalk, shred and smash its way through ideals of adult life and social conditioning. Whitehorse turns a microscope on domestic life to reveal a writhing, tangled biota of dreams and desire, despair and degradation.

With Panther In The Dollhouse, the duo’s songwriting makes a clean break from autobiography to fully embrace cinematic fiction in sleek, stylized collages of neo-noir drama and high-gloss showmanship. From the grindhouse ballad of “Die Alone” to the peroxide burn of “Trophy Wife,” the new songs are full of flawed characters, foiled plans and anti-fairytales.

To make this record, Whitehorse expanded their studio team with the addition of Likeminds, a pair of hip-hop/r&b producers and musicians. The beat-makers joined the returning crew of Gus Van Go and Werner F, who produced the band’s previous album, Leave No Bridge Unburned. The results bring vintage drum machines, samplers and analog synths into duo’s space twang sound.

Panther In The Dollhouse prowls May 12, 2017 on Six Shooter Records.

ABOUT WHITEHORSE:

Glam and sleaze, desert grit and subway rats, scumbags and fakers, hot messes and cold shoulders: welcome to the world of Whitehorse, a rock n' roll duo from Toronto.

Whitehorse's brazen sonic breadth encompasses psychedelic surf, arid border rock, lo-fi ingenuity and icy 80's sparseness. Luke Doucet's Gretsch White Falcon and impeccable tone, combined with Melissa McClelland's blazing vocals and badass P-Bass playing, have made the duo's sound unmistakably, inventively 'Whitehorse.'

Whitehorse began as something of a folk duo, but quickly outgrew that box with their inventive instrumentation and resistance to expectation. The duo moved into 'space cowboy' twang territory on the debut apocalyptic full-length The Fate of the World Depends on This Kiss, a fitting title lifted from a Wonder Woman comic. From there, Whitehorse expanded the intergalactic atmospherics with Leave No Bridge Unburned, a chase-scene- velocity acceleration into rock n' roll, with lethal riffs and near indecent vocal heat. The duo then rebuilt early electric blues for The Northern South Vol. 1, which showcased the duo's adventurousness and enviable guitar collection, and just earned a JUNO nomination.

The duo's profile has grown exponentially with each release. The pair now sells out Massey Hall. Last year, Whitehorse won a JUNO Award and performed on the award's live television broadcast to millions. That performance recently received a Canadian Screen Award nomination.
