The Whigs – “In The Dark” [Free Download]
The legendary Hollywood Sunset Sound Studios (where everyone from The Beach Boys to Led Zeppelin have tracked) was a far cry from the sweaty, dilapidated mansion in Athens, GA, where the then-college students made their self-produced and later critically acclaimed debut Give ‘Em All A Big Fat Lip, but it proved an optimal background for their ATO Records debut, Mission Control. Mission Control is a raucous thirty-seven minutes embodying all things forgotten in alt rocks uncompromising optimism.
The Skinny: In the Dark is the third album from The Whigs. The album was released on March 16, 2010. Recording took place in band’s hometown of Athens, Georgia. The band worked extensively with producer Ben Allen, notable for his production work on Animal Collective’s Merriweather Post Pavilion, one of the most critically acclaimed albums of 2009. The album marks the band’s first record with new permanent bassist Tim Deaux, replacing bassist Hank Sullivant, who departed the group in 2006 and joined MGMT.
On October 15, 2009 the Whigs released the title track, “In The Dark” as a free download. Two weeks later, the band released “Hundred / Million” for free download on their website.
