Pipe Dreams

Bay Area post-shoegaze sextet WHIRR generates suspenseful songs of soothing, razor sharp guitar textures backed by soft, cooling vocals. On their full length debut Pipe Dreams, the band's supercharged spirit rejuvenates the '90s shoegaze sound, providing a widescreen update for the post-millennial era. The sound of WHIRR is a totalizing crush when texture and volume hit perfect balance and bright pop melodies wander through dark, dense guitar noise. Twenty years after My Bloody Valentine awed music fans with its now-classic Loveless LP,WHIRR takes hold of the reins and lets its fluid, immaculate surge of drones and reverberations light the way. The New Psychedelia has arrived!
