Whistle Peak

About Me

Debut album out now! Can be found at earxtacy in Louisville, CD Central in Lexington, bandcamp, itunes, Amazon, and others.
"The band's greatest asset has always been lo-fi charm and subtlety, and without forsaking these elements, they manage to create beautifully pastoral folk environments with electronic influences and percussion accents which twinkle like stars between your ears." - Johnny Gutterman (wedrinkoldgold.blogspot.com)
"Very creative, innovative and interesting" "One of the best local releases this year" - Laura Shine (WFPK)
"a must have for any louisville music supporter" - John King (louisvilleisforlovers)
"Overall, the music could be collectively described as poignant, bittersweet and earthy [...] the consistency in the bass, coupled with an assortment of random brightness throughout, demonstrated through such instruments as the ukulele, charm the listener into a curious state of unexpected pleasure." Decent stuff. —Michelle Manker (LEOweekly)
