Back in 2014, Max Kakacek and Julien Ehrlich joined forces and birthed Whitney, concocting a soothing blend of Americana with a dreamy, lovelorn twist. Then, in 2016, their debut LP, “Light Upon the Lake,” burst onto the scene, gracing us with a collection of concise tracks that effortlessly entwine laid-back guitar melodies, radiant strings, and smooth brass accents. Striking a delicate balance between the familiar and the cliché, Whitney’s musical offering exudes a tranquil aura, inviting listeners to embark on an enchanting sonic expedition.

On “Light Upon the Lake,” Whitney’s musicianship shines brightly, but they choose to dazzle with subtle, vivid, and easygoing pop-rock strokes rather than showy pyrotechnics. The result? An almost flawless set of tunes that leave an indelible mark on the soul, akin to a magnificent short story.

Throughout the past seven years, Whitney has proven time and again their musical prowess, receiving heaps of critical acclaim along the way. This anniversary acts as a sweet reminder of their enduring talent and the timeless allure of “Light Upon the Lake.” So, let’s raise our glasses high and toast to Whitney’s brilliance and the everlasting impact of their debut album.
