Whalers Share Scarecrow Single
Are old buddies in Whalers are working out some new tunes, and today we’ve got one of those new jams for you to sample. This one caught my ear with that rhythmic pulse that’s made available to listeners almost instantly; it sets up a little bit of noise in the background, providing a bit of weight that works in contrast to the vocals. Those vocals soar, meant for bombast as you’ll see when the track erupts around the 3 minute mark, celebrating the passage of indie folk tendencies as they move to a crashing rock close. Always excited to hear what the group’s working on, so when there’s more, you’ll hear it from us!
Okay, so we might have gone a bit overboard somehow. It was just one of those weeks where there were hits everywhere you turned. Austin popped up a ton on our end, with new stuff from Stella and the Very Messed, Whalers, Gus Baldwin, Thanks Light…and some retroactive love for Drunk Uncle and Little Mazarn. Fortitude Valley and the Beths battled it out on the site for pop rock supremacy, but you get to make the call which you love the most. Tons of great records were about too, with new stuff from Jeanines, Ryli, Tom Henry and more. The IT Department popped in with a reminder of Cut Copy‘s new album…plus a touch up on some other great jams from Mac DeMarco to Emily Hines…there’s a little bit in here for you all!
Just when we thought the year was dragging to a close, we managed to find enough hits to fall in love with and make you a proper playlist! We even have a few of the tracks we covered from Maneater and Boyracer missing, so be sure to check those out. I loved the opening song from Prism Shores; it’s definitely a bright spot on last week, along with the reemergence of Mogwai on the scene. We managed to get in some Austin love for Whalers and Gus Baldwin and the Sketch, not to mentioned representing for the local festival with Levitation interviews from Hello Mary and the Strange Lot. Plus, our pal Michael Maly was able to swing some coverage for Air‘s 25th Anniversary performance of Moon Safari, giving me a chance to slide “Sexy Boy” into yet another playlist. Check it all out below.
