GRAVE092 ::: Whirr 'Around'

Click here to order directly: www.graveface.com/graveface-catalog.html

With their two albums to date, Bay Area six-piece Whirr have developed a reputation for dirgeful shoegaze, buttressed with textured layers or guitar and weighty, driving compositions. Spacious and moody, their 2012 LP Pipe Dream drew comparisons to heavyweights of the genre My Bloody Valentine, Ride and Slowdive.

Now, Whirr returns with Around, a mini-LP that finds the group restrained, but no less dark. Here, they explore longer songs, with their shortest clocking in at just under six minutes. Catchy melodies, traditionally a part of the band’s wheelhouse, give way here to a droning ambience, shifting Whirr slightly from their shoegaze core toward a dour post-rock sound. Vocalists Kristina Esfandiari and Loren Rivera keep their contributions misty and abstract, serving here as additional instruments more than messengers. But the thunderous drums and lavish guitar work remain — albeit in a colder, glassier form — making Around both a departure and a logical step forward from Whirr’s previous work.

A Shoegaze renaissance classic, first time on vinyl.

The shoegaze renaissance classic The Millia Pink And Green EP by Sway has influenced many a modern musician, shoegazer and non-shoegazer alike. Now, Saint Marie Records gives it the long awaited vinyl treatment. The record now weighs a bit more, thanks to the bonus track ‘Channel’ and its 180gm Coke bottle green transparent vinyl.

Sway began making noise in 1999, in Ventura, California. At the time, they were a four-piece garage rock outfit consisting of Andrew Saks, Amber Carlson, Seth Eubanks, and Vince Alatorre, playing shows and confusing audiences up and down the West Coast with its blurry wall of sound. They’re most known for the shoegaze renaissance classic The Millia Pink And Green EP released in 2003.

Andrew’s songwriting and sonic ideals are deeply rooted in the music he was surrounded by while coming of age: late ‘70s and ‘80s pop music.  Falling asleep nightly while listening to 1980s pop and R&B, and then waking up late at night in a dark dreamlike haze with New Order, Swing Out Sister, Talking Heads, Pet Shop Boys, Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam whispering through his Walkman’s headphones, the sonic memory of such experiences keep Sway from ever giving itself over fully to the traditional shoegaze elements. The quest to recreate these musical properties is what later led Sway to embrace and be further influenced by the blissful textures of dreampop visionaries such as The Cocteau Twins, Medicine, and My Bloody Valentine.

In 2011, This Was Tomorrow was released by Saint Marie Records.  It was Sway’s first full-length release and its last.

Sway - Fall

Hang on my words 
Try to feel 
Watch me drowning 
Can't breathe 
Brush me, touch me 
I can't feel 

Run through my head 
So slowly, so painful 
Draw to my pain 
Just like I'm drawn to yours 

Can you hear me cry? 
Did you feel me die? 

Lay by my side 
Brush against me 
I just want to feel 
Embrace me 
Tell me things I've longed to hear 
Beauty has never felt so real 

Can you hear me cry? 
Did you feel me die? 
Can you hear me cry? 
Can you feel me, can you feel me?

Lyrics:

This journey's been too long 
And why did I bother at all
And maybe I want much more, 
I think it's worth the fall

And now I think I know how I feel, like something I'd drag around
Too many days now gone by, too many for me to count

Believe me I feel your way, 
But lately it's been a crawl
Cover me like before, 
Don't let me feel shutdown

And now I think I know how I feel, like something I'd drag around
Too many days now gone by, too many for me to count
