Enough reverb and ear-numbing riffs to get the Barbary swaying on a Monday night.
[ 9/15 ] Bay Area shoegaze boys Whirr brought enough reverb and ear-numbing riffs to get the Barbary swaying on a Monday night. Their current tour — in Philly they were supported by Cloakroom and Sad Actor — is promoting their newest album Sway (Graveface). Singles like "Mumble" and "Heavy" have been viral off of NPR and Soundcloud since the summer, but experiencing them live along with "Blue" and "Ghost" off of 2011's Distressor was just plain ridiculous. So if you don't know, now you know: Don't sleep on this.
