Static Daydream are the latest band involving Paul Baker who you may know from either Skyware or Ceremony. The album opens with More Than Today; a song drenched in reverb and distorted guitars with female vocals that recall the Vaselines or maybe Lush. It takes a couple of listens to start hearing the lyrics but… Continue reading Static Daydream at Whisperin and Hollerin

Frog at Whisperin’ and Hollerin’
Well, calling your album Kind Of Blah is a hostage to fortune as it makes this reviewer go “blah blah blah, is there a thing I wanna hear on it?” And really, is there? It opens with All Dogs Go to Heaven: a mellow moper with whine-y vocals and sort of OK keyboard sounds, but… Continue reading Frog at Whisperin’ and Hollerin’
Animal Daydream at Whisperin and Hollerin
Yet another cool band coming out of the very busy Gothenburg scene. This time, however, instead of being on a Swedish label like Birds Will Sing For You, Animal Daydream are instead on cool American indie Jigsaw Records out of Seattle. Still, one thing is for sure they sound like they would make a great… Continue reading Animal Daydream at Whisperin and Hollerin
Fishboy at Whisperin and Hollerin
As the wonderful lyric sheet for this cd comes bearing the legend “An Elephant Never Forgets” I have listened to it while watching both the legendary 1935 cartoon An Elephant Never Forgets and the even more Legendary 1952 film The Elephant Never Forgets both with the sound down and using his album as a new… Continue reading Fishboy at Whisperin and Hollerin
Joe Jack Talcum at Whisperin and Hollerin
This album is the second instalment in the home recordings of Joe Jack Talcum who used to be the singer in The Dead Milkmen: a band I have a vague memory of having seen live once a long time ago. In the old days this album would have been on cassette with a Xerox cover… Continue reading Joe Jack Talcum at Whisperin and Hollerin
Mind Brains at Whisperin and Hollerin
This CD marks the first time I have ever been sent a record wrapped in two slices of bread to make a musical sandwich. Also, the the bread is of such industrial construction that a few weeks later it still hasn’t gone mouldy; just a little bit hard. It also came with some very cool… Continue reading Mind Brains at Whisperin and Hollerin

The Black Watch at Whisperin and Hollerin
Yes The Black Watch are back with their 12th album and they have also put out 5 EPs over the years, yet somehow this is still the first album by them that I’ve ever heard and so I’m unable to tell you if they are maturing like a fine cigar or if this is the… Continue reading The Black Watch at Whisperin and Hollerin
Emotional Response at Whisperin and Hollerin
This is one of 3 singles all now out on Flagstaff, Arizona’s Emotional Response label. They all come on coloured vinyl, this time on grey wax and featuring the alleged final single by Indie stalwarts Boyracer. I have vague memories of having seen them live aeons ago as an opening act at the Garage in… Continue reading Emotional Response at Whisperin and Hollerin
