Album Review: Whitney – Forever Turned Around

Following 2016's Light Upon The Lake, Whitney have returned with second album Forever Turned Around  – another jangly album perfect for relaxing Sundays. 

Giving Up screams of Bon Iver mixed with Father John Misty, which makes perfect sense given that the album is co-produced by the likes of Brad Cook and Jonathan Rado. Julien Ehrlich jumps off the drums for the beginning of Used To Be Lonely, which begins with soft acoustics and lead lines before the drums lightly fade in, only to fade out gently again for Before I Know It. Song For Ty bridges the sweetness of the first three songs into the swaying Valleys (My Love). Rhododendron is every jazz enthusiast's dream featuring a stealthy and smooth drum and guitar rhythm accompanied by flailing trumpet lines. 

My Life Alone and Day & Night brighten the record, before Friend Of Mine focuses on more open guitar notes and synth-like guitar leads. Closing with the title track, the album stands out as a perfect combination of folk, indie and jazz. This release is the perfect addition to breezy collections.
