The Cruelest Month

Broken Spine

Five years after their debut Birch White (Elevation Recordings), Whisper Room returns with The Cruelest Month, six extended tracks of minimalist, electro-ambient, space-rock. The album was recorded live in April 2013 at Toronto's long-running ambient music series, The Ambient Ping, with live sound/processing courtesy of Matt Thibideau, and subsequent mastering by James Plotkin. Whisper Room is a trio of Aidan Baker (of Nadja) on guitar, Jakob Thiesen on drums/effects, and Neil Wiernik (aka Naw) on bass/laptop. The three members were active in similar musical circles in Toronto and Montreal for many years, sporadically playing together and sharing stages, but did not actively come together as a group until December 2006. As an improvisational unit combining their different musical backgrounds, the trio creates music which explores the conjunction of electronic rhythms and textures with the pulsations and psychedelics of shoegaze and krautrock music.
