Whirr / Nothing

Whirr

Four tracks of crushing, reverb-drenched shoegaze. A dense collision of beautiful melodies and suffocating walls of distorted guitar noise.

November 18, 2014 · Not On Label (Whirr Self-released)

Listening to this split EP feels like being slowly submerged in a pool of warm, liquid mercury. The sound is physically heavy, a monolithic wall of distortion that somehow manages to feel soft and inviting rather than abrasive. It is the sound of total sonic immersion, where the distinction between the instruments and the space they occupy begins to dissolve. The guitars do not just play chords; they create weather systems of feedback and sustain that swirl around the listener like a thick, urban fog.

Moments Worth Listening For
The transition from the feedback-drenched ending of Lean into the melodic, driving pulse of Ease.
The moment the drums kick in on Chloroform, cutting through the thick haze of reverb with surprising clarity.
The haunting, slowed-down vocal melody that emerges during the final minute of July the Fourth.
