WHITE WHALE WEAVES A SPELL

Like the Arcade Fire but from Kansas, White Whale is somewhere between a rock band and a traveling band of minstrels. Ever fond of the epic ballad, swelling with choruses and multi-part harmonies, White Whale also draws a comparison to a certain Georgian band of lore, Neutral Milk Hotel. But White Whale’s music is less an imitation of that sound than a continuation of the genre, one born of sea shanties and most recently revitalized by the Decemberists. And while nothing may seem mystical, nautical or ballad-worthy these days, White Whale does its best to weave a spell of drifting, piano-driven symphonies. Check it out at www.myspace.com/whitewhalemusic.
