The shoegazing punks of Whirr were joined together in 2010 by Nick Bassett, a former member of Deafheaven who also currently splits his time between Philadelphia’s Nothing and its bicoastal offshoot, Death of Lovers. On September 23, Bassett’s main gig will unleash its second album, Sway, with help from Graveface Records. The follow-up to 2012’s Pipe Dreams spans eight songs, including the nightmarish, previously shared “Mumble,” and the fuzz-laden second single, “Heavy.” Now streaming below, the latter track comes bearing MBV-like guitar clamor and echoing drums. The sludge-swirl epic finds comfort in gloominess, and strength in whispers. After you press play, scroll down for Whirr’s tour dates and head over to Graveface Records to pre-order Sway.
