OR, THE WHALE | OR, THE WHALE
San Francisco-based band Or, the Whale is back with the much-anticipated self-titled follow-up album to the critically lauded debut LP, Light Poles and Pines. Or, the Whale is melodic and twangy with eleven tracks that effortlessly shift between Americana styles – traditional country, bluegrass, Appalachian Mountain, Neil Young-esque jams, and feedback-laden alt-country. Or, the Whale has released another thoroughly enjoyable album that is mature and easily avoids the sophomore slump.

It is hard not to be smitten with San Francisco seven-piece Or, the Whale with a song referencing Moby Dick and a smart literary songwriting style. Or, the Whale seamlessly blends four-part harmonies, tales of good times and hard-luck set over melodic arrangements with elements from folk, indie rock, and Americana, producing a sound uniquely their own.
