Killer Whale - INSIDE
About this Event
About the Band
INST | SPTFY | YUTB
Killer Whale is an indie-soul and psychedelic rock band led by singer and songwriter Thomas Johnson, originally from Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The project is known for its laid-back, "psychedelic pontoon soul" sound that blends influences from New Orleans funk, San Francisco surf rock, and 60s/70s folk. At the heart of mostly every song is a simple folk song, but what varies greatly is the manner in which the artist chooses to present it. Johnson has been working on new material that explores the possibilities of his vision. His efforts to find unique and novel ways to present his writing have yielded refreshing results. One thing is clear from these recordings..Johnson has absolutely no interest in being a simple, strumming balladeer.
In his new project Killer Whale, Johnson is widening the sonic footprint of his sound. In the process, he has taken a keen interest in recording methods and electronic instruments not commonly associated with folk music. Although guitar and vocals remain the heart of his songs, Johnson's new material incorporates digital and analog drum machines, synthesizers and densely layered vocal effects.
