With a name like The Whispertown 2000, you might think the band is an Atari-loving synth band or perhaps a Ronco product of some sort.  So you may be surprised to hear the outstanding alt-country tunes eminating from this decidely non-robotic group.

Hailing from Los Angeles, the band is led by Morgan Nagler, lead singer and songwriter for the group.  Signed to Gillian Welch's Acony Records, they've completed two full full length record, the most recent being Swim, released late last year.  Being on the same label with Welch is a reflection of the quality of their songs.

For our session, the band was relaxed and efficient, whipping through four excellent songs in the blink of an eye.  The highlight of the session was "Erase The Lines", a growling head-bobber that veers from pensive whistle-along to aggessive rant.

In our video interview with the band, you'll hear how none other than Jenny Lewis (of Rilo Kiley) pushed Nadler and multi-instrumentalist Tod Wisenbaker together to form the band (later joined by Tod's brother Casey and Vanessa Corbala), as well as their introduction to Acony founder Welch.
