20/10 LIVE @ AB SOLD OUT
‘Alone’ is the brand new single from Whispering Sons. The Brussels-based post-punk outfit’s long-awaited debut album ‘Image’, produced by Micha Volders and mixed by Bert Libeert, will be out October 19.
'Image' takes a giant leap forward from Whispering Sons' previous work. Together with producer Micha Volders (Meteor Musik, El Guapo Stuntteam and overall synthesizer wizard) and engineer/co-producer Bert Vliegen (Teen Creeps, Sophia), the band used the studio as a means to broaden their sound, enriching it with acoustic drums and a whole range of synthesizers. The ten tracks, recorded over a period of ten days at GAM Studios in Waimes (BE), evoke an atmosphere both ominous and urging, yet at the same time capture the band's agitated live intensity. The record was mixed by Bert Libeert (Goose, B) at Jetson Studio and mastered by Frederik Dejongh at Jerboa Mastering.
The songs on the album were written after the band collectively moved to Brussels in 2016. In between periods of intensively touring, they worked hard to translate their new perspectives into their first full album. Feeding on the dynamics of the city, the tracks unveil feelings of alienation and distance.
The brand new single 'Alone' deals with the tendency of consciously creating this distance between yourself and your surroundings. It’s a banger! A catchy hypnotic guitar riff, banging drums and singer Fenne Kuppens’ dark, moody and commanding vocals put the listener in chokehold. Resistance is futile!
