The Whispertown 2000


Gillian Welch has been releasing her own albums on her own label, Acony Records, for some time now. Today Acony introduces a new band, The Whispertown 2000. It's a great listen, though there is a layer of static over the whole record that's a little hard to get used to. The band is talented and I'll look forward to hearing more from them, but I'm most excited about hearing more from Acony Records. With Gillian Welch and her good taste at work I'm sure Acony will discover many interesting new artists. My review of The Whispertown 2000's album, Swim, is here. (Yes, I did mean littoral, not literal. I got a little dictionary.com word of the day crazy there.)

So much music...so little time.

I admit, I read the review before your blog post, and I was horrified. After looking up the word, I was in ecstasy. Nice verbal skills. Now what was your text question about? I couldn't find any reference.

Cool. I didn't even know.
