Whitmore, William Elliott: Silently, The Mind Breaks LP

William Elliott Whitmore is taking things into his own hands with Silently, The Mind Breaks, his first album to be released through his newly formed Whitmore Records. It will be released on January 26th. He had the following to say of his new venture: “I’m proud to be sharing this with the world through our literal mom and pop shop. I’m excited for people to hear what I’ve been working on the last few years.”

When asked what to expect from Silently, The Mind Breaks, Whitmore said, “Imagine a large expansive landscape. In the distance, you see what looks like a house. You walk for a long time, and as you get closer, it seems more and more like the house is abandoned. The front door is locked, so you go around the back and enter. Sunlight pours into the otherwise dark space, illuminating a staircase. You walk up, taking notice of a stillness in the air. There are several rooms, you enter the last one in the hallway. In the room there is a closet. You open the closet and see an old chest of drawers. In the bottom drawer is an envelope. You open the envelope and inside there is a note. It says ‘You are loved.’ You are very tired, but you can’t help but smile slightly. I hope this album is that for you.”
