Chicago-based indie band Whitney have dropped a new single and visualiser in the form of ‘Kansas’. On the track’s development from a risky setlist inclusion to a single, the band say: “At some point during tour rehearsals in 2022 we decided to put the original unfinished ‘Kansas’ in the set to see how people would respond and it quickly became a centerpiece. So in March of this year we finished writing and recording ‘Kansas’ as it was originally imagined and we’re thrilled to finally release it.” It makes sense that the track went down so well live, with the gentle plucking of guitars supporting delicate falsetto melodies that feel almost transcendent at points. Check out the duo’s third album, SPARKS. -Dan Peeke
