Kiss Of The Whip -
Info / biography:
Pushing forward the range of musical and emotional intensity that listeners have learned to expect from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania’s Kiss of the Whip, artist Tristan Victor’s new full-length album – titled “We’re Not Here” – showcases his most emotional vocal performances, melodic instrumentation, dramatic song structures, and groove-laden beats yet. With a wide range of styles and tempos, the musician and producer presents brand new songs that promise to delve deeper than ever into the depths of his brand of 1980s-flavored dark electronic music.
The darkwave/post-punk project's third album shares poignant, personal themes of loving adoration, crushing abandonment, and unity within the natural world, with deep feeling and uniquely dark honesty. In each of the album’s self-produced tracks, Victor lures listeners into a moving story that draws them ever closer to his personal experience through well-crafted, deliberate, and intensely felt emotional expression.
