This was supposed to be Era 20. The actual Era 20 came out of nowhere. The plan was to put out Wood Anniversary, wait a few months, then drop 100 outtakes on Christmas Eve and call it Suitcase 5 (because Bob Pollard won’t do it, so I will). That aside, I’ll be discussing this in […]

First up is another live show. I think there are three in this block. That’s insane. I went back to my alma mater (TCNJ) for this show. It was a Halloween show, so I wore my old Staples work clothes and played for 15 minutes. It was fun to do it. I certainly didn’t expect […]

Oh my god this block has 3 albums in it. It was only supposed to have 2 but the autumn just got busy. Speaking of busy, No Victories was my college senior thesis. I put way more effort into this than any other Hello Whirled release before and after this, and it shows. The album […]

Near the end of 2020, I had this idea to make a Robert Pollard covers album. I’d done one for Wire earlier in the year, and I thought it would be a good way to drum up inspiration. Needless to say, it got way out of hand, and I suddenly found myself trying (and succeeding) […]

I’d call it a stretch to say the burnout just sort of ended. Falling Short Of Heaven is still the product of burnout, it just also had enough bangers to mask it somewhat. These seven songs were recorded for the album but got cut for various reasons. “Play 45” is the second version of that […]

After three and a half years of nonstop music, I kinda wiped out for most of 2020. It was a weird time. Weird enough that, less than a month after putting out Atlantic Witchcraft, I put out an album of Wire covers. I can’t say everything on here came out great, but some of it […]

January 2020 was the first month since February 2017 that I hadn’t released anything as Hello Whirled. This was primarily because, after being mostly DAW-less for three years, I had purchased an interface and a MIDI controller with the intent of using Reaper for my music from then on. This concert ended up being the […]

After letting Quartered release without using it at all, I set out to make an EP that only used a Casio VL-1. “A Season To Believe In” isn’t offensively bad but it’s just missing something. “Seconds Last” is the only real hit here. That one actually feels like a song. The other two songs just […]

Been a long time since I’ve done one of these. It’s been a busy few weeks but I can finally start doing these again without it eating into my time. I had just moved into a campus apartment and wanted to get into a groove, so I recorded this. “Heavy Like The World” is great. […]

This block is named as such because it captures (most of) the sessions for You Are Not Immune To Trends. It started with a warmup in the form of the first Writer’s Block in almost a year and a half. “One Machine, One Long Fight” is a bit overblown, but I’m quite fond of “The […]
