“NOT MY KIND”
PLEASENCE
WHIMM have returned with a new single, the austere “NOT MY KIND” which also serves as the title-track to their forthcoming EP.
The Toronto based trio of singer/guitarist Mounir Chami, bassist Andrew Matthews, & drummer Jonathan Pappo have steered their minimalist template in a darker direction. Whimm are now traversing the same country Goth roads as Ritual Howls while still maintaining some of that Fugazi-like post-hardcore tension that makes the trio who they are.
“Not My Kind” rides a damn near surf lick as six-string twang couples with a light base of percussion, allowing Chami’s downtrodden vocal to take center stage. Whimm have a knack for negative space, allowing their respective instruments the proper room to breathe which is a trait deployed to maximum affect across the 4 minutes of their latest offering...
