The Whigs :: Modern Creation

by

TheWhigsModernCreation-coverDe vijfde CD van het powerpoptrio The Whigs uit Athens, Georgia heet Modern Creation en is ronduit opzienbarend. Puntige korte harde popsongs, gespeeld met een tomeloze energie. Doordat drummer Julian Dorio tekeer gaat als een gereïncarneerde Keith Moon doen de nummers soms aan The Who denken, andere keren lijken ze te willen terugkeren naar de tijd van de Paisley Underground om vervolgens te klinken als de neefjes van de Drive-By Truckers. Modern Creation is een CD als een sneltrein, meer dan geweldig.

For their fifth album, the Athens-bred/Nashville-based power trio the Whigs wanted to find the exact midpoint between raw and rehearsed. After more than a decade together—during which they’ve released four critically lauded studio albums and toured constantly as either headliners or openers for the likes of the Drive-By Truckers, Kings of Leon, and MGMT—the three members all agreed that they wanted to flex their muscles a bit: write some good songs, get them down as tight as possible, hit , and tear shit up.
