The band's third album, "Spark," trades the lush arrangements of its predecessors for a more direct, guitar-driven sound, signaling a deliberate shift in their sonic palette.
- The album was produced by Unknown Mortal Orchestra's Ruban Nielson. It was recorded during the pandemic, with the band members often sending files back and forth remotely. It marked a move towards a more immediate and less polished sound compared to their previous work.
- Despite the more concise arrangements, the album still features the band's signature melodicism and Ehrlich's distinctive falsetto. It was released in September 2022.
- The album was released on Secretly Canadian. It was met with generally positive reviews, with critics noting the band's willingness to evolve their sound.
Whitney is a Chicago-based indie rock band led by guitarist Max Kakacek and drummer Julien Ehrlich. They emerged from the ashes of the folk-rock band Smith Westerns.
