On 3rd November it was released the Whale Nado’s new album, »The Ocean Rebellion And Sonic Therapies«, anentire post-rock work. This is the 3rd work of the band and their second vinyl LP, on EHM Records (El Hombre Music, Spain) and VOTU Records (Voice Of The Unheard Records, France) co-edition.

Three songs has been released as singles as a preview of this masterpiece. These songs gave us clues about the general sound and the backgoround. His first release was »No volveré a ser joven«, together with the poet David Sarrión, frontman of Clacowsky, in an adaptation of Gil de Biedma’s poem, brought to the post-shock terrain and which has cast a light that continues to be had taken into account by specialized means. »Candidates«, is the second single from this new work, and tries to tell, through its particular sound, epic and cinematographic, thestory of the personification of being human, in which sometime in life is, and we are, candidates for something, either from own decision or others’s.

The last single, »Legendary Speaker«, shows the musical variety we find in the album. In this age, where we talk about sustainability, climate change and “saving” the planet, the band with the album’s title makes a metaphore between the inner ocean and the inner emotions of the human being. The songs work as a therapy in order to express that inner rebellion, and all of them engage each other in a story that everyone will understand on its own.

The three-piece band from Albacete ride firmly through the grounds of the instrumental post-rock and the rockiest alternative part. Whale Nado shows us that sometimes you don’t need the word to convey a message, and that music is as necessary in life as life own breathing, even sometimes, as they themselves know, music is breathing. Their live performance is heartbreaking, with a sound language that leaves a full emotion in the environment.

Its sound has an overwhelming epic, that’s why where they have played they have surprised, because their live is heartbreaking, with a sound language that leaves a full emotion in the environment.

In 2015 they recorded the »EP5« featuring the first compositions of the band. In 2018, under the label of El Hombre Music, they published »The Original Wave And The Small Riot«, recorded by Víctor Valera and Kix García, where they ride firmly through the grounds of the instrumental post rock and the rockiest alternative part, where melodic subtlety and maximum power are compacted in a masterful and natural way in its forcefulness.

In 2020 they started to release previews of their next LP whose recording has to stop according to the worldwide situation concerning Covid 19. His first release was »No volveré a ser joven«, together with the poet David Sarrión, frontman of Clacowsky, in an adaptation of Gil de Biedma’s poem, brought to the post-shock terrain and which has cast a light that continues to be had taken into account by specialized means. »Candidates«, in video-live format from La Cachorra yeyé, is the second single from their new work, and tries to tell, through its particular sound, epic and cinematographic, the story of the personification of being human, in which sometime in life is, and we are, candidates for something, either from own decision or others’s will.

In January 2022 the new LP »The Ocean Rebellion And Sonic Therapies« is finally recorded at Perdido Studios. A new record comprised of 9 songs, describing landscapes full of echoes, reverb and distortion with a deep and well-definite sound. This new record culminates a true rebellion of Whale Nado’s music, which takes a firm step forward.
