Whales are a poppy modern shoegaze quartet out of Chicago. Their catchy waves of guitars are joined by grounded vocals from Ms. Maigin Blank that avoid floating away into the ether. Has a nice sensibility throughout.

"Noisy guitars, propulsive drumming, and pop acumen give way to dreamy passages and apocalyptic drone on Whales' sophomore full-length; featuring guest musicians Mark Shippy (US Maple, Miracle Condition), Ryan Hembrey (Pinetop Seven, Manishevitz), and Vanessa Smetkowski (The Columbines, noise&light)." - Permanent Records
