from Distressor EP (2010)

[@lizetteespana6013]

the way the song builds up is beautiful

[@yesdude3914]

Imagine jamming for the first time and the vocalist just starts singing like this, you'd be absolutely mesmerised lol

[@Goofyaghx]

frr

[@Goofyaghx]

ugh i love whirr

[@mitchelldillon4382]

The rush in my chest I know so well, I hope it swells The faster it beat, the harder I fell, I hope it dwells Crush on me Crush on me Crush on me I hate when it feels so distant because I know I'll miss this When I think of you, I feel that rush, I like you so much Crush on me Crush on me Crush on me

[@majestycrush]

Out of all the music I’ve heard in my life, this is still the most beautiful song I have ever encountered. I can’t explain, it’s so haunting. It embodies the loneliness of the human soul and everything in history. The emotions it conjures up cannot be explained in words. I don’t even think Whirr realizes what they created here. They created something closer to the divine, something otherworldly.

[@Goofyaghx]

yesssss omgggg

Late Saturday night, Church parking lot after drinking too much, shards of your heart in the back seat. Band practicing in the basement. Sleep.

[@agdgdgwngo]

This is heavenly. Sends shiver up my spine, it's so relaxing. It's like the feeling you get when your migraine fucks off.

[@rockwellforever6945]

I dont know why but this song actually helped me when i was at the lowest. Its relaxing but not too much to forgot what we passed through. Its helping.

[@Goofyaghx]

can anyone who knows Whirr well tell me if they have anything as good as this? From what I know them I didn't hear anything on this level.

Try out Drain and Sway. I have these three on repeat all the time

[@xnosmokenoknivesx]

Wish this band was still going. Too bad everyones so touchy about transphobia

[@Julsies7]

you say this as if being touchy about transphobia is a sign of a regressive society lacking in the essential skill of empathy

[@Fantomex]

Your wish has been granted

[@hawkmetzeta3599]

This is my favorite album of the 2010s and their comments still don't sit right with me. Disheartening and gross comments from folks who made this masterful EP is a hard thing to digest.

[@hughjasssssssss]

@@hawkmetzeta3599 what exactly did they say?

[@hughjasssssssss]

I looked into exactly what they said on Twitter back in 2015, and it's /b/ tier levels of offensive shitposting. They tweeted some really fucked up shit, that should not be downplayed and you should not write people off, who have a problem with the band, as being "touchy about transphobia". I'm shocked at how stupid they are for doing something like that. They're an underground shoegaze band. I would go out on a limb and say that most people who listen to shoe gaze, are not people who are tolerant of transphobic behavior. I think this album is the best shoegaze album of the 2010s, and I'll continue to listen to them regardless of the hateful tweets, but they have a permanent stain on their reputation now, and I feel that's a fitting punishment. Why would an underground band do something so polarizing and detrimental to their reputation? Unless they didn't give a shit about the band as of 2015, it's incredibly stupid what they did.
