Whim will be releasing a new record in early Summer of 2019 with Fluff and Gravy Records, but we just couldn’t wait to get the lead single out to you. “Mouths”is first and foremost a callout song— a song Sarah wrote to call herself out for taking the silent observer position in too many situations where being vocal is imperative. In the days of social media where fake news and political opinions abound, it’s easy to feel like you simultaneously have a voice, and that it’s impossible for you to ever be heard over the clamoring masses. It becomes an existential pitfall when you either say nothing, or you say something and it turns out to be ignored.
The parallels to our current social and political climate were too great to ignore, and although we have not yet even finished recording the LP, we felt like this track needed to be public sooner rather than later. Paste Magazine premiered the track here as their Daily Dose and we will be officially releasing the track digitally on November 2, 4 days before the mid-term elections.
Give it a listen, and spread the word. “We are the people who SHOUT!”
