The Pale White announce new album 'The Big Sad'

Newcastle alt-rock trio The Pale White are back, unveiling details of their highly-anticipated sophomore album 'The Big Sad', set for release on the 18th April via End of the Wall Recordings.

Returning in 2025 with a bold new sound, the record's first single 'Lost In The Moment' builds anticipation with its hypnotic textures before exploding into a high-energy storm of searing guitar riffs, driving basslines, and ethereal tubular bells. The track encapsulates the strange yet exhilarating sensation of time standing still, capturing both the beauty and melancholy of fleeting, nostalgic moments.

Frontman Adam Hope shares the meaning behind the track, “A special song to me. It’s about the feeling, or lack thereof, which suddenly washes over you when you least expect it. A certain type of numbness, not necessarily tied to anything good or bad. Perhaps it’s a captivation of something beautiful, or maybe it’s the type of melancholy in the pit of your stomach when reminiscing and romanticising the past. Whatever it may be, time freezes and you’re neither here nor there… just for a moment.”

Describing the new record, The Pale White emphasise their shift toward raw honesty and sonic evolution, “The Big Sad is an album born from the ashes of dark times but represents a beacon of light for the future. It’s a record of honesty and purity—one that our fans may not sonically expect. The sound of a band that got tired of slamming on the fuzz pedal to tick the ‘rock’ box and dares to try something new, dares to shock, dares to be great.”
