Whiskerman

***Champions is the epic new album from WHISKERMAN. Formed in Oakland, California in the beginning of the new millennium, Whiskerman quickly became a favorite amongst Bay Area audiences with their unique blend of folk-rock coupled with mysterious and profound lyricism and evocative instrumentation. Champions is a masterpiece of wide-ranging scope and ambition, the definitive statement from a band in their prime. Featuring barroom rock n’ roll, blue eyed soul, pastoral folk, workingman’s blues, and rainy day ragas, the album is a tour de force that takes the listener on a hero’s journey of Dostoevsky-ian proportions. The songs deal with life and love and success and failure and what it means to be alive in a world where everything is small. Features string arrangements by ANTON PATZNER (Bright Eyes, Foxtails Brigade). LP packaged in gatefold jackets with artwork by YASAMINE JUNE. (STREET DATE - 5/20/2016)
