In The Whale- Nate
by Tim Wenger
In The Whale is on fire right now, and their heavy-hitting, moshable new EP Nate, the follow up to Eric, which was released last fall, is only going to add more fuel to the fire.
Speaking of fire, the strongest track on the record is aptly titled “Lake of Fire.” Front man Nate Valdez shows his mastery of that fine line between the squealing, high-pitched vocals that so many indie rockers employ and a darker, sinister sound, and it fits his pictorial lyricism perfectly. This new recording further separates In The Whale not only from the hords of indie and alt-rock in Denver but also the mainstream rockers like The White Stripes that I have heard them compared too, proving once again that In The Whale rightfully stands in a league of their own. As Valdez screams on the fist-bumping track “Robert Johnson,”- Burn, baby, burn.
