Whimbrels Introducing THE WHIMBRELS, a power art-rock band with lineages to some of the most influential and raw music New York has produced--loud art with a back beat. The sound is dense, poly-rhythmic, hard, and sweet, with a hook or riff popping out at unexpected moments that will save your soul. Evans’andHunter’svocals front a three-guitar line up tuned every way but normal. The ax men are veterans with contrasting styles that come together in a potent whole. The beats are smart and unrelenting. The debut LP is out on Dromedary Records June 13, all formats. Henry Birdsey Henry Birdsey is a composer and musician from Vermont. His music is drone-based and usually involves microtonal tunings. He plays the bagpipes and is one half of the duo Tongue Depressor.
