Regret with Wipe - An Interview


Quando se perguntar a alguém, quais são suas influências e a resposta é sistemática - Slowdive. Não há lá muito o que explicar.Mas no caso do combo de Ann Arbor, Michigan, isso, mesmo cidade dos Stooges, mas nesse caso ao contrário da demência da banda de Iggy Pop, o que temos é um um ep carregado de shoegaze clássico como seu norte inicial mas que ao término das quatro belezas sonoras fica claro que eles são bem mais do que meros discípulos de Slowdive como muitos por ai.

Ah sim, até agora não mencionei quem são efetivamente, vamos lá, o nome do responsável é Wipe, e aconselho a aumentar ao máximo e principalmente se estiver de fones.

Boa viagem.


***** Interview with Wipe *****


Q. When did Wipe start? Tell us about the history...
1. Wipe started as a solo project at the beginning of this past summer, when I began writing songs for the EP. Since then, I’ve added more musicians to the band, but I still prefer to write and record alone.

Q: Who are your influences?
2. Slowdive!

Q. Make a list of 5 albuns of all time…
3. Slowdive – Souvlaki,
My Bloody Valentine – Loveless,
Wilco – Yankee Hotel Foxtrot,
Radiohead – OK Computer,
Miles Davis – Kind of Blue

Q. How do you feel playing live?
4. Wipe actually still has not played a show, but from experience with other bands, playing live is definitely one of my favorite things in the world.

Q. How do you describe Wipe sounds?
5. When I’m recording for Wipe, I aim to get a classic shoegaze sound, but I also try to make it sound very new. A lot of this sound comes from blending guitars and synths to get a thick layer of sound.

Q: Tell us about the process of recording the songs ? 

6. The recording process and the writing process are very entwined for me because the sound itself is so important to the music. I recorded the EP on my own in my house early this past summer.

Q. Which new bands do you recommend?
7. My friend’s band Bonzo is really great.

Q: Which band would you love to made a cover version of?
8. The Cranberries

Q: What are your plans for the future?
9. I’m working on writing a few new songs right now. I’ll probably release another EP within the next couple months. Also, we’ll finally start playing some shows soon!

Q: Any parting words?
10. Thanks for reading!
