“London shoegazers’ delight in pairing dense sounds with layered, oblique meaning” – NME
London-based band Whitelands release their second album Sunlight Echoes on 30th January 2026 via Sonic Cathedral. It builds on 2024’s Night-bound Eyes Are Blind To The Day – the elemental debut that won them fans from Slowdive to David Jonsson – with a more expansive sound that takes them out of the shoegaze shadows to somewhere bigger, better and brighter.
The band garnered a slew of praise from UK and international media for this gentle banger inspired by Luigi Mangione, including a BBC Radio 6 Music premiere by Huw Stephens, Stereogum New Music, DIY, TIDAL Indie Daze playlist cover, Spotify New Music and Amazon Breakthrough Rock.
