Whisper Room, a Tornoto trio featuring Aidan Baker (Nadja) on guitar/effects, Neil Wiernik (NAW) on bass/laptop and Jakob Thiesen (Students) on drums, has a new record out next month. Titled Lunokhod, the record debuts on Feb. 26 on Midira Records and picking up where its predecessor, The Cruelest Month, left off. The band features a distinct blend of atmospheric shoegaze-influence merged with precise and pulsing krautrock.  

Baker has also been busy with other projects of late, releasing WERL3 (also on Midira) and a Nadja split with Disrotted (Roman Numeral Records/Bad Moon Rising Records).
