Whisper Room, a Tornoto trio featuring Aidan Baker (Nadja) on guitar/effects, Neil Wiernik (NAW) on bass/laptop and Jakob Thiesen (Students) on drums, has a new record out next month. Titled Lunokhod, the record debuts on Feb. 26 on Midira Records and picking up where its predecessor, The Cruelest Month, left off. The band features a distinct blend of atmospheric shoegaze-influence merged with precise and pulsing krautrock.  

Baker has also been busy with other projects of late, releasing WERL3 (also on Midira) and a Nadja split with Disrotted (Roman Numeral Records/Bad Moon Rising Records).

Do you find that at times you need to change your perspective on something or someone, and if so how exactly do you gain that fresh perspective?
