I’m not so sure it was necessary for San Francsico\/Philadelphia band Whirr<\/a><\/strong> to have named this particular song “Heavy.” It is from last year’s album Sway<\/a><\/strong> (on Gravefrace Records<\/a><\/strong>). As I’m listening to it through my Netbook’s tiny tinny speakers, the thing is massive, pouring out over everything in the room, making the label superfluous. Whirr, too, is well named. Like the musical equivalent of several thick ingredients put on high cycle in an industrial blender, the result is a cacophonous aural assault. But in amongst the sheer density of sound is some pretty, fuzzy melodic shoegaze that swirls all around you, mixing you in so that you lose sense of time and space.<\/p>\n
