Whirlpool

Released

Following what was then already something of a standard and cliche in UK indie terms — three EPs to establish a presence, then a full-length album — Whirlpool felt a touch like a hang-together-effort at points, where individual songs connected more than the whole. But those songs were something else, an early take on shoegaze that brought in hip-hop breaks and full psych rock crunch amid the sweeter melodies — not to mention a separate bonus vinyl 12” with a total noise racket called “Die Die Die.”
