Watch the video for Go Again by Portland, OR based band Whisper Hiss, a track from the Split LP they share with like-minded Glaswegian indie band Dancer: "a leftfield party album that will be fully embraced by indie lo-fi loving kids of all ages. It will clear the room of any lingering jocks and sorority girls, who can't make hay of the skewed rhythms and tempo changes."

HCTF review of Split
Post-punk quartets Dancer (Glasgow) and Whisper Hiss (Portland) have joined forces for an album called Split, with both band having one side to showcase their raucous, rambling take on guitar-driven off-kilter danceable rock. The Scots lean heavily on bands like Talking Heads and X-Ray Spex, while the Americans are in thrall of the catchy weirdness of the B-52s.
This is a leftfield party album that will be fully embraced by indie lo-fi loving kids of all ages. It will clear the room of any lingering jocks and sorority girls, who can't make hay of the skewed rhythms and tempo changes.
Post-punk quartets Dancer (Glasgow) and Whisper Hiss (Portland) are separated by an ocean, but musically they drink from the well: quirky lo-fi danceable songs that are as adorable as playful kittens. So when they made the connection by way of the owner of Happy Happy Birthday To Me Records to team up for one side each on an album called Split, they set to work to write more songs.
Both bands have picked a single of the album as a taste for what is to come. Dancer chose Priority Girl, with a jagged rhythm a la Talking Heads mixed with a bit of X-Ray Spex, and Whisper Hiss went for Movable Objects, a leftfield disco-tinged song that will go down well with fans of the B-52s and Blondie.
