Distressor

Essential Album. Shoegaze with a cinemascope view. In the scale of accessiblity Whirr, then Nothing, then DeafHeaven... and all share players. With Pity Sex and Weekend and True Widow are also a part of this post-rock shoegaze metal-leaning movement. Beautiful, heart-breaking, with a hint of doom behind every corner, and all the while, buried in the layer upon layer of swirling buzzsaw guitar sits a wonderful gem of a pop song.Melody eventually emerges above the delicious roar. Jesus and Mary Chain, as well as MBV, covered some outstanding pop songs under their sheets of distortion. The new movement of Post-Rock MBV-Metal carries this to new vistas.

MBV Jr tunes + NorCal Cool = GREATNESS! First heard "Child" at Strangeways Radio, and it was love at first listen! The rest of the album is equally great. Fans of Bilinda Butcher and Lush's Miki & Emma will no doubt love Loren & Byanca's vocals. And, like the best shoegaze bands, the layered vocals and guitars deliver melodies that make you want to listen to the album again and again. Will definitely be checking out Whirr's other releases.

plays fine, love the band, couldn't have asked for more.

It's ok, but "Pipe Dreams" is the one to get.

Such a great EP. Highly recommended.

much goodness

it is so nice!

アメリカインディーシーンの生きる伝説、Nick BassettがメンバーのシューゲイザーバンドのEPです。元々Whirlというバンド名だったときの作品だったみたいですが、こちらはWhirrになってからの再発盤です。古き良きオルタナの雰囲気漂う轟音を聞かせてくれます。Swervedriverな泥臭さもあれば、My Bloody Valentine的な甘いメロディーも備えています。関連バンドでより男臭いNothingやブラックメタルなDeafheavenもおすすめです。
