Following the dark, expansive power of 2018’s Image and 2021’s
minimal Several Others, Whispering Sons’ third album ‘The
Great Calm’ represents a reimagining and rethinking, though this
growth has produced a series of songs that are still defiantly and
uniquely true to the group.
With bass player and producer Bert Vliegen’s credentials to call
on, rather than give the band musical sketches to be fleshed out
later as he did previously, guitarist Kobe Lijnen was able to
provide more fully formed pictures of his potential new songs.
Recorded in four weeks – two in the Audioworkx studio near
Eindhoven, Holland, before being finished at the start of 2023
using a homemade set-up on Vlieland, a small Dutch island just
off the North Sea coast – the power, energy and beauty behind
The Great Calm’s making is etched through the heart of each of
its 12 songs.
“The Talker exhibits influences from The Velvet Underground to
Talking Heads. Unlike their earlier works, this track hinges on a
more buoyant yet still-gripping guitar riff. Its lyrical structure
balances on the edge of spoken word and melodic vocals. The
sun-kissed guitar notes intertwine seamlessly with powerful drum
sequences and rich organ tones. It’s a crafty fusion, proving their
continued evolution and reverence for art-rock’s greats.” –
