Whitney Walker sounds like he’s spent a lot of years picking up musical ideas and inclinations before writing the music for his new EP Where To Go And How To Get There (released June 13, 2025). The sinigle “An Owl Hoots Your Name At Night” has a richly eclectic aesthetic especially considering it’s a mere two minutes thirteen seconds long. Jaunty percussion, swells of carnival-esque keyboards, calypso psychedelia and jazz pop leanings with the band coming in clutch with simple but elaborate arrangements and contributions from Dana Colley of Morphine fame turning in choice bits of clarinet and flute throughout the song. Concise yet cinematic and with a touch of Vaudeville that song has a unique appeal like something tapping into pre-modern popular music and a band like DeVotchKa. The music video is similarly colorful and wonderfully eccentric interspersing animations, collages and live performance in perfect balance.
