A fantastic debut single from Austin, TX-based band whisper, “Cross Country” unveils a shoegaze and alt-rock immersion amidst thematic ruminations on long-distance love. “They say distance makes a love grow fonder, but I think it’s the one thing keeping us apart,” delectably hazy vocals let out, as whirring guitars are bolstered by twanging, glistening captivation. The reverb-friendly, nostalgic rock sound captivates throughout, propelled further by serenely melodic vocals and a genuine sense of yearning. We’re excited to hear what’s next from whisper.
