Whirr - Flashback

With their steady ebb and flow of warm, effects-laden sounds, northern California's Whirr (Formerly Whirl) give the sounds of 90s shoegaze a widescreen update for the post-millennial era. The young sextet's walls of lush guitars, breathy vocals, dreamy synth and thunderous drumming propel listening ears into a near-cinematic realm where instantly catchy melodies and emotional, enveloping atmospheres hang perfectly in the balance.

listening to this hurts so much. Used to listen to it when I was in love with a very cool girl. Now I cannot listen to this without my heart getting heavy.

[@yessbenne5924]

SummerOfGeorge I know what you're talking about, I just want to relive those days, but in the same time I know that the fact that they are now over for ever, is what gives them value.

[@backtomimsey]

Same, but with my boyfriend during happier times.

[@Flowermouth]

@@backtomimsey hope everything is going better for you, keep on shoegazing 💜

[@fimbulwint3r]

these scenes taken from Taxi Driver fits perfectly with this amazing song... unbelieveble, cause it express exactly the way I feel when I listen to this... all the city motion, the lights, people staring around and everything feels so empty... maybe shoegaze is all about this, feel empty.

[@oliverweaver3070]

it’s an empty feeling but also fulfilling at the same time

[@veniceflytrap]

This video was wayy ahead of its time

[@lpc90]

Amazing how clear & detailed the video footage is. To say it was filmed in the mid 70's you wouldn't believe it....oh & this is a great song.

[@troyshen5715]

Lee Cashman Completely agree. Excellently photographed for it's time. There are some Steve Schapiro on-set photos that essentially look as though they were taken yesterday, like : media.aphelis.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/SCHAPIRO_1975_Scorsese_DeNiro.jpg

Flashback blinds my sight
Your lens was never bright
Oh no, don't go, stay the same, still frame
Oh no, don't go, stay the same, still frame
Scared of everything you see, I see that in your eyes
Scared of you and scared of me, don't you realize?
Both of us cannot be free until you recognize
Go away and let me be, just let it die
Oh no, don't go, stay the same, still frame
Oh no, don't go, stay the same, still frame
Scared of everything you see, I see that in your eyes
Scared of you and scared of me, don't you realize?
Both of us cannot be free until you recognize
Go away and let me be, just let it die

Better to be alone in the end.

ugh fuck why does this make me so emotional .

[@yespls4184]

Cuz you have good taste

[@Thewillowpsy]

One of the best shoegaze music of everytime... surreal...

[@xdissonance8]

Whirrs music is very emotionally powerful

[@plowes]

this hurts to listen too, so much memories tied with this song

[@vm5500]

Reminds me of when I was alive and still felt bad about things

[@Fantomex]

Now you are dead?

[@FunaitoTV]

Thats sounds edgy, what's about know? You okay?

[@Tuopz]

I wasn't prepared for the drop i fucking love this

[@ofyourtimeandmind.6001]

Hi

[@fweiss]

Great song/band/visuals. I commend the editor of the video. This group is the epitome of Shoegaze. If you could survive the first song of their concerts, you were in for a big treat. All my life I enjoyed watching high school battle of the bands to see what talent could come out of 3 guitars and a drummer. Whirr brings that quality up 100 %. As a former video director I often wonder why this band never released a live album along with a live concert video. Their music is also adaptable to motion picture film scores. I hope these musicians are still at it and keeping shoegaze alive!

[@human-being3630]

this is something I've never felt before
