The Whip are one of the latest bands to come out of the Manchester scene and give fantastic electro sounds full of bleeps and of course (seemingly in every new band at the moment) synthesisers. In many of the songs on the album, lyrics are few and repetitive but this is made up for in the music which can only be described as a crazy mix of electro and pop.The album jolts in with the fantastic ‘Trash,’ the new single from the band introducing every sound the album contains slowly but efficiently until the raspy voice of Bruce Carter kicks in with the repetitive ‘I wanna…’ which
leads up to an amazing chorus bound to get anyone off their feet onto the dancefloor. The song does, however, run for longer than it needed to and some people may lose interest with it after it passes the three minute mark.
Other songs that stick out on the album are ‘Divebomb’ and ‘Blackout.’ ‘Divebomb’ being the big club hit of last year and it is up where with the best of electronic music and ‘Blackout’ is a dark, weird song which is so unique compared to the other songs and is a welcome edge to the album.
Though the album does sometimes become tiresome, other songs make up for this. The album looks to be one of the must-haves of the year and will appeal to anyone who is into indie but wouldn’t mind experimenting with some electro/dance music.
