THE WHISPERS Cat# SV0545 Kim Beales is a voice that is familiar, but at the same time remarkably strange; he makes music that feels like you are wearing your favourite pair of trackie pants amongst tails and top hats, like finding a Vegemite sandwich in the deep dark back streets of Chennai, like a Whisper in the middle of the night… Beales released his first piece of the recording pie in 2002. The self released A Day In The Dream caught the attention of the local music world, one such was Neala Johnson from Melbourne's Beat Magazine, who suspected that Beales may one day have "a cult following all of his own in the future". The release of this EP coincided with the formation of Melbourne indie collective, Tien An Min along with acts like Broken Flight and Tamas Wells. After a 3 year hiatus of gigging in some of Melbourne's favourite band rooms and travelling the globe, Beales thought enough was enough, and recorded his first full length album, The Whispers. If an artist can be gentle and yet upfront at the same time, Beales is that very thing. Alongside songs of everyday life, Beales engages intelligently with Australian refugee issues and also interacts with the poetry of a prisoner in Nazi Germany. One thing Beales could never be accused of is being shallow! His passionate and intimate words are set across the backdrop of a variety of melodic soundscapes. Beales can play music and play it well. The Whispers deliciously
tips its hat to a variety of musicians, including the soothing sounds
of Nick Drake, Damien Rice and Glenn Richards, and the energy of artists
such as Jeff Buckley, The Police and Ani DiFranco. Throw in Beales'
own eclectic mix of musical delights (a bit of jazz here, a bit of soul
here), and out pops In a world of sound and noise, be sure to hear the whispers. Get on board the following.
