Whitney

Whitney, an American indie-rock band from Chicago, blew steam into the modern music scene with a fresh and vibrant approach. Consisting of core members Julien Ehrlich and Max Kakacek, the band's combination of strains from classic rock, pop, and soul created a unique soundscape that resonated strongly with audiences. Their debut album, "Light Upon The Lake," made a seismic impact, launching them to prominence and setting them apart as maestros of their craft.

Interestingly, the band's music videos echo the same spirit of their music - soulful, evocative, yet refreshingly new. Take the video of "Polly" for example. Shot entirely on film, the video captures the grainy nostalgia of old home movies, stirring a certain sense of longing and wistful beauty. Meanwhile, the band's video for "Golden Days” is a delightful concoction of montage sequences amidst lively performances, effectively conveying the joyous exuberance of their music. Lastly, who could forget the video for "No Woman"? With its sweeping landscapes and intimate close-ups, the video takes the viewer on a melancholic, introspective journey, echoing the song's contemplative mood. It's noteworthy that the director of these videos, Frank Red, possesses immense talent and captures the essence of the band perfectly. His ability to translate their music into exquisite visuals reflects both his skill and the band’s uniqueness. Now, it's not a widely known fact that Julien Ehrlich, the band's drummer, is also an exceptional kickball player. He participated and won several local tournaments during their early touring days - quite the kickball virtuoso!
