Fantasy Book Critic: Song of the Week: "Death" by White Lies

White Lies’ debut album, “To Lose My Life”, doesn’t come out until February 2009 (Fiction/Geffen Records), but the British trio has already amassed a ton of hype due to their first single “Unfinished Business” and the recently released “Death EP”. “Cinematic!” says The Guardian and christened by NME as the “Grandiose Archbishops of Cathedral Pop (Joy Division, Echo and the Bunnymen)”, White Lies is on the cusp of stardom. Then again, Scottish act Glasvegas had a lot of hype surrounding their debut which sorely disappointed me, so even though I really enjoy “Death”, I’m not completely sold on the band yet. For now, check out the “Death” Music Video, the “Death (Crystal Castles Remix” and the Album Version of “Death”:
