On their spellbinding sophomore album, "Whispers in the Speech Machine," the young Ohio siblings from The Laughing Chimes fully embrace their Southern Gothic influences, cannily balancing the light of their infectious pop with the shadow of their rust belt environs. While attending an afterschool music program at their local opera house, Evan and his brother Quinn began recording The Laughing Chimes' debut album "In This Town," released in 2020. A string of well-received digital singles and a cassette EP for Slumberland followed, dazzling savvy pop fans with their Paisley Underground-inflected jangle that owes as much to the Flying Nun sound as it does to 80s Athens, GA.

The eight assured songs of "Whispers in the Speech Machine" prove The Laughing Chimes deserve the attention and accolades, while their approaches to songwriting and sonic aesthetics continue to evolve. "Southeast Ohio is the foothills of Appalachia, so it has this indescribable mood and atmosphere to it," guitarist/vocalist Evan Seurkamp told The Big Takeover. "Sometimes there's a haunting weight of decay you want to escape, but at the same time there is some sort of strange romanticism surrounding ghost towns. We've tried to channel those moods to add more regional flavor into our sound."

Nation of Language - Inept Apollo

Lyrics

I cant get you out of my out of my head
But I got no feelings left 
And I’m filled with eternal dread 
When will I wake up

I can feel you watching stalking 
Tell me are you listening 
I can feel it when I’m with him
Tell me do you feel the same

Now I’m stuck here tryna figure it out 
Can’t remember the last time 
That I cried and let it out 
I hope you get the message 

I want you to change my mind 
Say this happens all the time 
Even though I know it’s a lie 
Say you’ll be different this time 
I want you to change my mind 
Say this happens all the time 
Even though I know it’s a lie 
Say you’ll be different this time 

And now everywhere I go I know
You’ll find a way to come along 
In my head
Don’t you wanna know who’s sleeping in my bed
Ill act like it’s my biggest regret
While I’m yearning in secret
Maybe I’ll tell someone I just met 
Wonder if you feel it yet 
I can’t remember how to smile
My paranoias driving me wild 
Hide under blankets like a child
I’m trying not to make a sound

I want you to change my mind 
Say this happens all the time 
Even though I know it’s a lie 
Say you’ll be different this time 
I want you to change my mind 
Say this happens all the time 
Even though I know it’s a lie 
Say you’ll be different this time 

I want you to change my mind 
Change my mind
