Much like their name, Whale and the Wolf’s unique sound is sonically immense and wildly fierce in its energetic intensity. Unapologetically authentic with a generous helping of playfulness, they’re audacious yet accessible. WATW skillfully incorporates the band’s multiple musical influences, perspectives and personalities to create their own distinctive maximal sound, sans ego.
“Living In My Head” was the first track that the band recorded remotely during lockdown. The experience proved to be a challenge to write together as they worked on the song individually, and adapting to this songwriting style allowed them to really focus on the individual parts, making them quite nuanced and complex, while still working together to serve the song as a whole.
The focus track comes from their 10 song LP, ENVY. There was a long recording process for the album – five of the songs were written with producers Jimmy Mansfield and Paul Rogers before the pandemic, and five of the songs were written after with Brian Moncarz. Lyrically, the themes came from an honest self-reflection. We can all acknowledge that we are imperfect in many ways, and in allowing that truth, we are able to further explore the key theme of envy.
