--------------------------
The Dark Delights Of The Wicked Whispers is the debut release from Liverpool group The Wicked Whispers which is to be released Monday 6th June 2011 on Electone Records, limited to only 300 10" vinyl. The Wicked Whispers are one of Liverpool's hotly tipped acts with an already sizable fanbase in Liverpool and throughout the UK following a series of live dates up and down the country. The band’s debut show in Liverpool titled 'The Butterflies Ball and The Grasshoppers Feast' at The Static Gallery November 2010 was a sold-out success and demand for the group's first release has been growing ever since. Taking influence from psychedelic and folk sounds of the late 60's whilst adding their own stamp, The Wicked Whispers are one of the more progressive acts to emerge from the North West in some time creating something that is instantly recognizable as theirs.
Recording of The Dark Delights of The Wicked Whispers EP:
Recorded at Roscoe Studios in Liverpool, the EP captures the raw and honest sound of the band using only live takes. Produced by Steve Powell (Cast, The Stairs, Mick Head and the Magical World of the Strands) and front man Mike Murphy, the idea was to record takes using an abundance of live room mics to capture every possible sound. The main objective for the EP was to make a record that would instantly sound at home on vinyl. To assist this Steve Powell was an obvious choice to co-produce with additional support from producer John Wood (Incredible String Band, Nick Drake) and producer and mastering legend Jon Astley (George Harrison, David Bowie, The Who).
‘Amanda Lavender’ video:
In preparation for the release, The Wicked Whispers unveiled their debut video the EPs leading track, Amanda Lavender which has received a very positive response so far. Directed by Liverpool Photographer Mark McNulty and edited by Brainface, the video was shot in the UK's largest Garden Maze, on location in Snowdonia, North Wales, the video stars Merseyside's most talented rising model Charlotte Cooper (Impact Model Agency) playing the lead of Amanda Lavender The ‘Amanda Lavender’ video is available to watch online on YouTube:
