Whisper Room is a trio based in Toronto, Canada featuring Aidan Baker (Nadja) on guitar/effects, Neil Wiernik (NAW) on bass/laptop and Jakob Thiesen (Students) on drums. So yes, you can say that this is yet another one of Aidan Baker's projects and fans of him will immediately love the ambient soundscapes on this album. However, there is a lot more to Whisper Room than ambient soundscapes, which obviously is a good thing. Inspired by acts like Can, Neu!, Flying Saucer Attack and My Bloody Valentine, this act comes up with soothing ambient textures and otherworldly sounds, driving on deep percussion.

The album is divided into two long tracks. They sound like space rock, only slower, stretched out and fluttering. There is also an industrial repetitiveness about these tunes, enhancing the hypnotic and meditative nature of Whisper Room. Furthermore, there is a certain darkness in these sounds, somewhat reminding me of those old dark ambient works by Raison D'Etre or Svartsinn. To me, that was a surprise and not even a bad one. I like dark music and I like industrial ambient soundscapes so, quite obviously, I love this album.The second track 'Pawrover' is my favorite one. It's a bit harsher and a lot more trance inducing than the previous one but both are definitely worth your attention. So yes, this album comes highly recommended to every fan of ambient and its derivatives. You won't be disappointed, I promise you...
