CMU Approved
Approved: Whispertown 200 (SNAP Of The Day)
By CMU Editorial | Published on Wednesday 11 March 2009
These guys have some seriously influential fans behind them, having toured with Bright Eyes and Rilo Kiley, and then being signed up as the first act on the frankly brilliant Gillian Welch’s label, Acony, and then being picked by The Breeders to appear on their ATP line-up at Minehead this summer.
It’s all merited attention, of course, with tracks like ‘Breathless’ sounding like they’re taken straight from vintage country albums, with hints at Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy and The Magnetic Fields. Another standout, ‘Atlantis’, is more a sedate piano ballad, lent soothing harmonies from Jenny Lewis and the aforementioned Welch. Fans of this ilk should investigate now.
