Minneapolis, MN || February 23, 2016 | The rising Minnesota indie-pop outfit, Whosah recently announced the release of their sophomore EP Work, set for 3/11/16 and shared their creative "moving picture" video for the EP's lead single "Ghost Town." Today, the band has teamed up with Music Times for the exclusive premiere of "Forget About It," an uplifting feel-good number that makes getting up to dance seem virtually irresistible. View the video here. Here is what the band had to say about the track and its accompanying moving picture video: "The 'Forget About It' video is a take on the verses, 'there's no top to this mountain If I'm focused on the climbing.' The video focuses on us climbing, but not going anywhere....We wrote 'Forget About It' partially to ourselves, and to anyone who's ever felt like they're stuck in that cycle. This song is about realizing that success is not the point and the grind is not the point; that real life is available for us to find joy in, right where we are right now." - 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.
