Killer Whale
Somewhere between the rustic Louisiana lifeblood and dreamy California surf lies Killer Whale. The brainchild of Thomas Johnson, a Baton Rouge native emerged under the radar in late 2013.
Killer Whale, much like its creator, wanders between New Orleans, Austin, and San Francisco, bearing the melodic scars all that travel brings him. A mixture of folk rock, psychedelic electronica, with touches of surf rock and Caribbean fare, Killer Whale doesn't subscribe to any one camp. Instead, it exudes them all.
It's a sound kaleidoscope.
With that kind of concoction, it doesn't seem too far-fetched to think that the songs would be a melee, an atonal mishmash that hearkens back to the days of being different for different's sake. Under the leadership of another musician such might be the case, but Killer Whale melds everything together in the name of freaky good fun.
