Pipe Dreams
“This Bay Area shoegaze outfit features Nick Bassett of the black metal group Deafheaven. On their latest, they manage to establish a distinctive identity in a style that often relies on blurry facelessness.”
Sway
“Whirr’s new album is moody and indrawn, an album that seems to be about nothing in particular; even its song titles, rendered almost entirely in monosyllables like the shoegaze band’s name, are vague and diffident. Above all else, Sway is shoegaze music about what it’s like to like shoegaze music.”
Around - EP
“On their new EP, Whirr forgo the relatively tight strictures of 2012's Pipe Dreams and position themselves within the realm of NorCal bands like Palms, Weekend, and Deafheaven that have been using intimidation tactics to coax beauty out of their guitars.”
