    While As I Try Not to Fall Apart probably won't pull in any new fans, it has a sultry, back-of-the-club intensity that speaks to White Lies' ever-deepening artistry.

    ‘As I Try Not to Fall Apart’ is a subtle evolution for White Lies - progress, after a while spent spinning their wheels.

Each previous album felt like a bunch of melancholy and brooding songs but never felt like a collective. This album hits different. Yes its what we've have come to know from White Lies but its the almost complete work that does it for me.
