About The Band..
Witherspoon's complex soundscapes, matched with surreal lyrics that crosses the boundries between dreams and nightmare, are Zachreen's expressions that came to life after nearly 3 years of absences from the local underground scene in Kuala Lumpur. With this in mind, the quizzical of their debut E.P entitled 'Scapes and Sounds' does make perfect sense. The entire member of this band has been around for nearly 10 years in the local underground scene spawning from various different types of genres and bands from Scorched Earth Policy, Nathrah, Tabaraka, Undead, Forget Me Not, MaybeONEday a.k.a Awaken, Panembrama and many others for the last decade.
Because of their tight relationships as highschool best friends they decided to make a comeback and decided to create something that could evoke the masses with Zachreen's haunting lyrics and dreamy musical landscapes. The intricate shifts and delicate balance inherent in Witherspoon's masterful music, hits emotional chords and affects the subconcious in unknown ways. Essentially reveals its sharp songwriting instinct and unfolding a distinct indie rock influence.
They unveil singular scenarios and refined tunes within the indie/alternative pop/post rock scene together with inspiration from graphic novels and movies like Heights, Wicker Park, The Dreamers, Match Point, 24 Hour Party, 9 Songs, S.L.C Punk, The Spinal Tap, Trainspotting, Eternal Sunshines O.T.S.M, Reality Bites, Tangled, Chasing Amy, Crazy Beautiful, Devil's Advocate, If Anything Else, novels like Light In August, Catch 22, Dolores Clairborne, The Great Gatsby and also from bands of their generation like The Smashing Pumpkins, My Bloody Valentine, Sonic Youth, Depeche Mode, Joy Division, The Smiths, Stone Roses, Ride, The Verve, Silverchair, Jeff Buckley to recent favourites such as My Vitriol, KENT, Sigur Ros, Haven, Keane, Abandoned Pools, Mute Math, Delays, Missy Higgins and many more.
The band is just released their debut E.P entitled 'Scapes & Sounds which is currently sold in selected stores around Klang Valley and should be sold equally in record stores across Malaysia starting September 2008.
Testimonials:
- To a certain extent, that 90's alternative sound is there, but added to the template are nods towards dream-pop, shoegaze & a little bit of post rock. Well played, well produced, well written, hipsters and musos will love this!' - JUNK MAGAZINE!
- Sejujurnya, ini adalah risilan yang baik, idea dan garapan lagu yang agak jarang dimainkan oleh band band baru sekarang..4 daripada 5 Bintang! - ROTTW Magazine!
- This is a brilliant release by Malaysian indie-shoegaze-post-rock band, you’ll listen to guitar layers and soundscapes that inspired by MBV’s, you’ll found emotional and aggresives distortion like My Vitriol and subtle hook that coming from Slint or Mogwai. And surely sure it wouldn’t bring you summer sunshine, but an imploding depression. As long as they keep in progress and polished their talents, I think Witherspoon can be a real great band with strong characters. - DeathRockStar Online (Indonesia)
