Minneapolis, MN || February 8, 2016 | The rising Minnesota indie-pop outfit,  Whosah has been catching the ears of many across college radio nationwide, leaving fans new and old hungry for more. Today, the band is proud to announce the release of their sophomore EP Work, set for 3/11/16. Check out the DIY moving pictures video for the EP's debut track "Ghost Town" here. Work is a collection of four songs that embody the common struggle and journey we can all relate to. The band states: "Work finds its home in a balance between the toils of labor and the field of dreams. Sometimes the drive to find success leads us to miss how good life is right now, and other times our fear of the unknown leads us to miss out on how good life could be. Every note, rhythm, and word in this record was brought with that balance in mind. The project digs into the muddied, murky parts of everyday life and asks, what am I missing here? What should I be thankful for? What should I be longing for? We hope that our journey through those questions inspires our listeners to ask those same of themselves. Our dream is that they'll find the same joy we've found in savoring that process of discovery ourselves." - Spencer Grimes

 

Produced by Nashville's Chase Coy, the EP's first single "Ghost Town" was released in November of 2015. Whosah's sound has historically been characterized by dense layers of backing tracks, this new project spearheads the band's effort toward recreating and expanding upon those studio layers with live instruments. Work sets out to take this synth-pop expression a step further by visually interpreting as many elements off the record as possible right in front of the audience.

More About Whosah: Art is personal. It forces us to explore our most inner thoughts, while providing an opportunity to share those intimate parts of our lives and connect through our shared experiences. Since its formation, Whosah has committed to creating an environment where connections are formed through sound. By approaching every song and performance with energy and authenticity, Whosah delivers an experience that forms a bond not quickly forgotten. The group thrives in environments both large and small, performing shows as intimate as college dorms and as large as the Mall of America.

 

Though the five-piece calls Minneapolis their stomping grounds, they have found home to be wherever their craft takes them- from college campuses and bars across the Midwest to sharing the stage with artists like Mat Kearney, Betty Who, and The Icarus Account. Whosah has won the University of Minnesota's Spring Jam Battle of the Bands, been featured on popular shows like NBC's "A to Z" and MTV's "Snookie and JWoww" and Target's back-to-school campaign.

 

With a dance-pop twist on Walk the Moon and The 1975, Whosah's new release is centered around an optimistic and spunky attitude, savoring the conflict between finding purpose in the daily routine and longing for a life beyond the known. Produced by Nashville's Chase Coy, the first single "Ghost Town" was released in November of 2015, and will be followed in March by the full EP titled Work - a common struggle and journey we can all relate to.
