London’s White Lies are following up their 2009 debut, To Lose My Life, with their sophomore album, Ritual. Ritual will hit shelves on January 18, 2011 through Geffen/Fiction. Ritual, produced by Alan Moulder, journeys through dancefloor beats and raging guitars that teem with dark distorted anthems for the modern age.

White Lies, the collaboration of childhood friends Harry McVeigh, Jack Brown, and Charles Cave, found themselves with the #1 record in the UK thanks to To Lose My Life. The album also earned them the distinction of being MOJO’s Breakthrough Artist of 2009 and Q’s Breakthrough Artist of the Year (2009). They played to crowds at Coachella and Lollapalooza, performed on the Late Show with Letterman and Jimmy Kimmel Live, and have spent the past two years on the road. They returned to US shores for the first time in a year with a headlining set at Filter’s Culture Collide Festival in Los Angeles.
