White Reaper have just released the music video for their brand new single, “Fog Machine.” The single comes off of their upcoming new album, Asking for a Ride, which is set to be released on January 27th, 2023 via Elektra Entertainment.
The release of “Fog Machines” comes with a Max Moore directed music video, which can be found below.
Vocalist / guitarist Tony Esposito elaborated on the genesis of “Fog Machine” noting, “We had it in our back pocket for a while. We knew we loved playing it together, but it was a little tricky to nail the arrangement at first. We got it together at the last minute before we went into the studio and now it’s our favorite song to play live.”
Recorded and largely self-produced in Nashville with the help of close friend and engineer Jeremy Ferguson, Asking for a Ride finds the Louisville band taking a more direct and in-your-face approach, prioritizing the collection’s raw energy and its ability to translate live through ripping and nervy compositions. It’s White Reaper at their most exciting – dialing up the chrome-plated riffs and monster hooks – a welcome reminder of just how much fun rock music can be.
“We ask ourselves: ‘Does it sound good when we play it in the room together?’ And if it does, those are the songs we want to pursue,” Esposito noted.
Guitarist Hunter Thompson concurred: “We started to recognize how we operate best as a band.”
