    Actually I'm the singer of a Brit Pop band. But sometimes I just need the sound of cheap keyboards and drum machines. That's when my alter ego 'Whisk' shows up and makes me record these stupid songs.

    Press Reviews
    "Cuddly songs with hip-hop beats, vintage keyboard licks and lazily rapped vocals. With all the ingredients that make up Rap music, but with an Indie sensibility. This is warm and unassuming post-modernism with a sly sense of humor. (Mike M. from listen.com)---------------------------------------------------------------"This week's INDIE/LO-FI entry, something a bit different. No guitars. A drum machine, bass, various keyboard melodies (love the xylophone one), earnest yet laid back vocals. Kinda slow, kinda sad, kinda urban, more than kinda cool. Perfect for college-radio rotation, where lo-fi alt-pop with talent should get recognition, along with at this site! It grows on me more each time I give it a spin. Whisk is a one-man side project out of Germany, I hope he has the time to put up some stuff as good as this." (The Alt-Pop MP3 Review)----------------------------------------------"Blimey this is good. This is a blissful, well constructed, soulful tune in a laid back kind of way. I especially like the xylophone style sounds which accompany the deadpan, sometimes moanful vocals. If you like catchy pop tunes then you cannot go far wrong with this. Worth downloading."
