Whisper States Shares Ghost Rode
I love being surprised by a press release, like I was with this new Whisper States single. There’s lots of mention of songwriter Chad Molter’s work in various Dischord bands, not to mention working with Joe Wong and Mary Timony. So, I pressed play on this new jam, and boy, not what I was expecting, but also, in the best way. One of the only similarities I found was the driving rhythmic push that creeps beneath the surface, perhaps the heaviest edge the song brings to the surface. But, there’s so much reward here, harkening to a different era of American pop music, perhaps finding some footing in the pastoral folk, albeit one brimming with hints of Elephant 6 pop sensibilities. I’ll definitely be checking out the self titled LP, which drops on September 6th via Trap Set International.
