About Whales
There is more than one artist with this name:
1) Whales, previously known as Sex Whales, real name Tal Rochman, is an electronic music producer based in Israel. Known for his dark, melodic sound which incorporates elements of fluttery basslines and hard-hitting synths, Whales has become a notable force in the bass genre. His tender harmonies are juxtaposed by intense eclectic melodies and captivating percussion. Whales has been musically gifted from the young age of 7, when he picked up his first instrument, and later would excel by teaching himself how to master electronic music production.
2) Whales was a four piece DIY oriented indie rock/math pop band from some place in Texas. They played together for a couple of years while the members were in high school (mostly house shows at the legendary Skramansion), did a very short tour, moved around some, broke up and did some reunion shows after that. The members are now/were in: Archer Youngster, Family Might, UVB-76, Wine Drunk Moms, Costumes and Owl Creek Bridge. You can listen to them at: http://killerwhales.bandcamp.com/

"Chicago rock band Whales experiment with noise, dynamics, and melody. Their music is firmly rooted in basement rock, and branches towards sculpted towers of spaced-out sonics that wrap themselves around indelible melodies. Whales is busy writing material for their sophmore release titled Plate Tectonics, to be released in late 2012. Serve the song. Noisy heaven-rock. Est. 2009."

Using just a battered drum machine, a child's bass guitar loaded with banjo strings and a telephone reciever, whales creates a party noise atmosphere reminiscent of late 90's Load Records acts.
Their debut EP "Hellephant" was released under Bad Egg Records in March 2009. The EP has so far gained air-time on Adam Walton's show on BBC Radio Wales
Whale's first album "Open Ice Hits" was released on Bad Egg Records June 2010.
