Last year White Reaper released their latest full-length, Only Slightly Empty.Now, the band has announced a deluxe version, Only Slightly Expanded, which packs three previously unheard b-sides, including new single “Need.”
To make Only Slightly Empty, White Reaper overcame label upheaval, creative blocks, lineup changes, burnout, and more, and channelled those tumultuous years into an airtight half hour of undeniably great rock & roll. Self-produced by the band (vocalist/guitarist Tony Esposito, keyboardist Ryan Hater, and guitarist Hunter Thompson) and recorded with engineer Joey Oaxaca (Hunny, Mamalarky, Rocket), the record draws on elements of ’90s alternative and darker sounds without ever sacrificing the infectious power pop core that makes White Reaper so appealing. It’s an expert balance that takes the band in exciting new directions while still feeling more confidently like White Reaper than ever.
