LA based Whispertown 2000 are currently touring in Europe with our pal Maria Taylor but I just begun to listen to their sophomore 2008 release called Swim. Swim is an amazing example of indie rock with the ever rising new folk sound. In Old Times and 103, they plug in playful pop melodies with sing-a-long style folk songs. Morgan Nagler is quite nicely backed up by Vanesa Corbala's vocals; track to track there's a good sense of freedom to the range they lay out. Music country folk and I can always agree on. The video for Old Times has some beautiful shots of the band, definitely worth a few views.
