Whitney – Small Talk
Small Talk is the fourth and most emotionally resonant album from Chicago duo Whitney. After a decade of collaboration in both Smith Westerns and Whitney, longtime bandmates Julien Ehrlich and Max Kakacek entered the studio in the summer of 2024 without a producer—just trusted friends dropping in to contribute.

The result is a collection of 11 incandescent songs that showcase everything Whitney does best: tender melodies, wistful lyricism, and a natural warmth that’s been elevated to new heights. Small Talk balances classic Whitney charm with a spirit of creative evolution, making it their most affecting and fully realized release to date.
