New Music: Whirr- Drain

San Francisco band Whirr released their latest EP, Around, last week on Graveface Records. The four song mini album includes the song "Drain," an epic, slow-paced, eight minute melancholic track that has the band sounding a little bit like sadcore group Low.  Listen below:

New Music: Whirr- Swoon

Another in a line of a plethora of bay area shoegaze bands, Whirr is the project of former Deafhaven guitarist Nick Bassett. The former metalhead has turned his attention toward shoegaze and the result is the appropriately named song "Swoon." The track starts off brutally heavy but soon transpires into a dreamy reverb friendly pop song. Listen below:

"Swoon" is taken from Whirr's new EP, Around, that will be available July 9th via Graveface.
