Animals Are People Too

(Release Date: 07/28/09)

From the label:

Tom and Liza are the Wind Whistles and they live together in the suburbs of Vancouver, Canada. As an indie folk duo, they both sing and both play acoustic instruments (guitar,bass). Sometimes they play alone and sometimes they bring friends, more times not. They think they sound like a cross of Lemonheads and Violent Femmes while people tell them they sound like a cross of the Decemberists and the Moldy Peaches. Beginning in the spring of 2006, they’ve done the usual artist thing: demo, radio, festivals, tours, friends and lots and lots of shows. In 2007, they have released their first full length “window sills” and try to spread it around as much as they can. That’s why they have decided to re-release their 12-track LP under a creative commons license. Aaahh-records, your new favourite netlabel for absolutely charming music, is very proud to have “window sills” their first release and will do its best to promote the album. In April 2008, Tom and Liza have quit their jobs and headed across Canada with the the Greenbelt Collective, then they headed alone to Europe in May, June, July, August, and back across North America in September and October ‘08 starting from the East Coast. Instantly after putting their feet back onto home-turf from their tour in 2008, The Wind Whistles grabbed their guitar and bass and gathered with friends in the studio to capture ideas that came into their heads fresh from a summer in Europe and luckily for all of us…they hit the record button! After “Window Sills”, aaahh-records is very proud to release the second full-length album from the Canadian folk duo, entitled: “Animals are People too”. The Wind Whistles are notorious do-it-yourselfers and love to meet generous and creative people that make beautiful things happen. So, please do not hesitate to get in touch with them.
