Today, Belgianďż˝five-piece Whispering Sons return with the announcement of their much-anticipated second album ?Several Others?. The news follows on the heels of their recent single ?Surface, which was released as a limited edition 7″ and sold out of all 500 copies in half a day, as well asďż˝earningďż˝plaudits fromďż˝a vast arrayďż˝of publications.
“Several Others”ďż˝marks Whispering Sonsďż˝first full-length release since their 2018 debut “Image”, which saw them garner early support at press and radio as well as tallying up millions of streamsďż˝for their dark and unique blend of experimental and frenetic post-punk.ďż˝Similarly, prior to lockdown, theirďż˝infamously ferocious live shows had also seen them begin to firmly cement themselves as a must-see live band playing alongside the likes of The Murder Capital, Pattiďż˝Smith, The Soft Moon and Croatian Amor, as well as touring across the UK and Europeďż˝with the likes of Editors.
?Satantango? and ?Surgery? see�the band�distil the�ferocious post-punk aesthetics from which their sound first emerged and pushes them to the absolute limit. The tracks toy with the delicate balance between moments of fragility and their�capability for�relentless and driving intensity,�experimenting at the point in which�no wave, industrial and avant-punk converge. The anxious and propulsive instrumentation is�eerily abstracted, whilst Fenne Kuppens? words, sung in a dramatic and distinctive low register,�inject that extra central tension and darkness.
“Several Others” album is out 18th June 2021,ďż˝via [PIAS]!
