Whirr - Meaningless

Whirr - Sandy

Nothing - Chloroform

After 2 months of working on it with Nick on bass— here it is.

The first ever cover The Coward Robert Ford has ever done. I couldn't think of a more fitting song and band than the one that is borderline responsible for my entire discography even existing.

Available for FREE download here or on our Bandcamp. All rights go to Dan, Tim, and the Flenser. This is just us trying to pay homage.

Stars and air find
Themselves here at night
Cold and dark as everything
Deep and wet and secret
Heretofore to no end, ether

Fear is all pervasive
It's all around me every day
Like air that stops breathing
The sun and everything spill down
Like the thoughts that leave me no answer
If something is catching in my throat
Just at the edges of these moments

Well, this must be it
Not whatever I tell myself it is
Oh, heavy, hot, and humid
Stretching myself thin
Oh, what happened to gradual intentions

Oh
What heavy nothings
Oh
What heavy nothings

I know
You've been pushing all day

Sisyphus (Have a Nice Life Cover)

I woke up in static, eyes like glass on fire,  
No halo, no mercy — just a code rewired.  
They talk like prophets, but they sound like spam,  
Selling virtue for dopamine — goddamn.  

Out My Way

Buy me a coffee

Demo version of this classic song from 'Souvlaki'.

Slowdive - 40 Days (Souvlaki Demo)

Bay Area post-shoegaze sextet, Whirr, generates expressive songs of cutting guitar textures backed by misty vocals. Their full length debut ‘Pipe Dreams’ dropped via TeePee Records on March 13th. ‘Distressor’ is a reissue of their debut EP, originally released in mid-2011 as a 500 copy vinyl only run in the UK.
Whirr's spirit rejuvenates the '90s shoegaze sound, providing a widescreen update for the post-millennial era. A wall of lush guitars, breathy vocals, dreamy synth and thunderous drumming send the listener to a picturesque realm. Instantly catchy melodies and emotional, enveloping atmospheres hang fully in balance. The sound of Whirr is a total crush when texture, volume, bright pop melodies and dense guitar noise fuse perfectly.
Twenty years after My Bloody Valentine awed music fans with the now-classic 'Loveless' LP, Whirr emerges with their own fluid surge of drones and reverberations. However, classifying them only as shoegaze diminishes their complexity. Guitarist, Nick Bassett, also plays in the celebrated post-black metal band, Deafheaven, whose latest release was named one of NPR’s Best Metal Albums of 2011. That influence infiltrates Whirr’s sound, producing an interwoven sound. The cd is packaged in a recycled gatefold sleeve and the retail vinyl color is black/white/grey splatter on clear.

GRAVE092 ::: Whirr 'Around'

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.
