The Devil Whale

"Anyone who has heard the music of Brinton Jones will agree that his songs are literature of the heart. Like a book bound by melody, harmony, and honesty, they unfold before you. Paragraphs become verses and chapters become choruses, leaving room for interpretation and relation. Brinton is as much an author as he is a songwriter." Salt Lake City's The Devil Whale is the product of a collaboration between Jones and long-time friends Jake Fish (on bass) and Cameron Runyan (on drums). These days, that collaboration is rounded out with the addition of Jamie Timm on lead guitar and Wren Kennedy on keyboards. Their second full-length, Teeth, is set to be released on May 24, 2011, and with the help of an EP (Young Wives, 2010) between their first full-length and this release, Teeth has a little more "bite" (pun intended) than their debut, Like Paraders (2008). The album plays host to a plethora of talented players, including friends from Seattle’s The Head And The Heart singing on the track "Magic Numbers." In support of the release, The Devil Whale can be caught live from coast-to-coast (and back again) throughout 2011. Read more on Last.fm.
