The tiny venue directly under Grimey’s New & Preloved Music lies The Basement. If you ever been to The Basement, you clearly know the venue does not have the greatest lighting or barely enough room to squeeze towards the bar. However, Ontario, Canada’s duo Whitehorse made us forget about the location.To the audiences view the band had set up a snare and bass drum, two telephone mics, a keyboard, several electric guitars, acoustic guitars and a bass. Whitehorse played like a six-man folk band with a few right turns and surprises.
Unexpected banging and clanging pots and pans for percussion, humming into recording telephone mics and picking up several other instruments was just to create their background noise. After creating their harmonies and background noise they join each other on the mics - slightly looking at each other with bright smiles on their faces. Their voices intertwined perfectly together, creating a soothing ambiance of a time that hits home.
