It's time to break out the potato crisps, discounted lung killers and duty-free booze as there have been some new additions to the Whalehammer online discography;
*
a.) Static Reverence (long-playing album)
This was the third album recorded by Whalehammer, or in this case, the Whalehammer duo. Richard and David recorded this one on a friday night in mid 2007 with the set-up of Korg MS2000 synthesizer, Alesis Micron synthesizer/vocoder, Fender Telecaster guitar and various pedals, into one mixer, into one amp, mic'd with an SM57, live to laptop. It has more blissed-out, controlled, electronic vibe than the full band Whalehammer releases.
*
There are four tracks;
*
1.) Narcoplex - drugged up drum machine shoegaze
2.) Vision Gate - 20 minute kaleidoscopic journey through a children's horror movie dreamworld
3.) Buried at Birth - synth/guitar lonesome prairiescape
4.) Electronic Prism Face - ecstatic adventures in arpeggiation
*
b.) Incandescent Trails - live track recorded at Scott's party, late 2007
This track was recorded at Scott's party in Leeming. This track goes for twenty minutes, building into a black cloud of noise which managed to blow up a fairly sizeable bass amplifier. At this point the track is forced to come down to earth in a haze of smoke, filling the room with the smell of electronic burnout. Recorded live to minidisc.
