After recently sharing 'Believe It', White Lies now drop another new track from their forthcoming album.
'Finish Line', taken from 'Five', out on February 1 2019, is, says lyricist and bass player Charles Cave, "a simple song about a young couple’s break-up negotiations, I like to hope the music itself takes the listener through the emotional ups and downs. It’s up there as one of our best songs and we hope our fans think so too.”
The band gave also announced details of a unique partnership with the help of the RNIB and have created the 'Five' braille lyric companion book – which contains the entire lyrics of the album in braille.
Having started using Kobigraph in the album artwork designs, the band became passionate about including some tactile braille in the campaign. Unfortunately, due to mass-market practicalities it soon became apparent that it would have to be a more bespoke, limited item but one that fans would want to keep.
Says Cave: “I got in touch with the RNIB, somewhat unsure as to whether they’d be interested at all, but their reaction was immediately one of enthusiasm as it was a project they’d never seen the like of before. Working closely with them and our artist Casey Roarty, we soon found a way of producing a book-size edition that would safely keep the braille usable and be an aesthetically beautiful item.”
Limited to a run of 500 hand numbered copies – with a £10 donation from every sale going to RNIB. Available to purchase via whitetlies.com
