White well may be the new black this season, what with Denim, Rabbits, Jacket and Jack all back in action. But the LA-based band White Arrows are at some musical remove from those generally harder rocking "white" acts. 

Led by singer and songwriter Mickey Church, a guy who's definitely done his bicoastal time, including a stint at NYU, he's more recently returned to his native LA, to record this sparkler of a debut at the Eagle's Nest, produced by none other than the Remix Artists Collective's Portuguese founder and remix magician Andre Allen Anjos, along with the band's Andrew Naeve. A number of the songs had already become live favorites, including "Coming and Going" and the excellent, spindly jammer "Get Gone".

That song typifies the sort of spirited, exuberant sound that puts White Arrows firmly in the urgent, fresh-faced corner of indie flower-pop inhabited by the likes of Givers and Oberhofer. In fact the band has already shared some Euro bills with Oberhofer this year, as well as the aforementioned White Denim. Currently Church's crew is out on an extended run with some kindred electro bouncers, Beat Connection. Smiles all around, we'd imagine, at any of those shows. 

Also of note on White Arrows' debut, Dry Land Is Not a Myth: the perfectly sparking opener, "Roll Forever", a rousing "Little Birds", and "Getting Lost" on which Mickey Church's generally reedy quirk of a voice lets rip a clean and sweet falsetto--Smokey Robinson meets synth pop. 

A band that's been around for a minute, but its debut full-length is worth the wait. Discover the joyous Dry Land Is Not a Myth from White Arrows.
