Whitney – AKA Chicago duo Julien Ehrlich and Max Kakacek have announced their forthcoming new album, Small Talk, alongside the release of new single, "Dandelions".

“A couple years ago Max and I were both on the brink of moving across the country to be closer to the people we were dating at the time. Over the span of a few months both relationships somewhat abruptly crumbled, leaving us with equal parts confusion and sadness, mourning the futures that would have accompanied those relationships as well as the relationships themselves. Inspired by those events (and on a whim of Midwestern pride) we wound up spinning the story of ‘Dandelions’ into one of a big city hopeful who gets chewed up and spit back out into the heartland,” Ehrlich says of the new single.

Small Talk follows Whitney's debut album, Forever Turned Around (2019), Candid (2020), an album of reimagined covers, and Spark (2022), and the new single "Dandelions" comes on the heels of their first single in two years, "Darling".

Tracklist:

  1. Silent Exchange
  2. Won’t You Speak Your Mind
  3. The Thread
  4. Damage

  6. Islands (Really Something)
  7. In The Saddle
  8. Evangeline (Ft. Madison Cunningham)
