Canadian outfit Secret and Whisper, a new unit formed from the ashes of Stutterfly and Thebleedingalarm, have released their new disc, the 12-track GREAT WHITE WHALE. This affair is a modern rock smorgasbord that features elements of post-hardcore (especially the high-ranged vocals), laid back piano rock, and straight-ahead hard rock that when combined, while not wholly original, sound perfect to accompany Saosin or Anberlin on a concert tour. Tracks like "Lovers" contain soaring vocals over a heavily effected guitar riff/ pounding rhythm section while "XOXOXO" with a technical guitar run and a pulsating drum performance underneath another passionate lead vocal part. If you can get down with a band that can mix well-textured sounds with a strong balance of heavy melody and melancholy or if you can't wait for the next Circa Survive disc, Secret and Whisper will appease your taste.
