Preferring winding paths to boring straight lines, WHEOBE sketches the contours of a universe that resembles them. Pure sonic impressionists, this band offers us their debut album, “A Strained Ocean,” whose palette draws its colors from powerful, contrasting alternative rock, borrowing from a multitude of influences ranging from jazz to noise. It’s an intense mix, much like their live performances, which don’t hesitate to play with extremes to convey a raw, sincere, and authentic message.
