Beatbeat Whisper is an American indie folk band from the San Francisco Bay area in California, and has gained notoriety on both coasts of the United States. The band is composed of sibling singer-songwriters, Ayla Nereo and Davyd Nereo. Their music has been described as "folk-based music touched with chords of bluegrass, traditional folksongs, dancy rock ballads, classical piano sonatas, and pirate shanties." The band released their self-titled debut album ''Beatbeat Whisper'' in 2007, followed by ''Wonder Continental'' in 2008. == Biography == Ayla and Davyd were born and raised in Sonoma County, California, outside Windsor, California, and were both homeschooled until high school. Raised in a musical family, they grew up playing kazoos, recorders and other instruments at home. Influenced by classical piano sonatas, high school punk bands, and traditional folk songs, Ayla and Davyd began writing their own music as teenagers; Ayla notated piano chords in her own musical language while Davyd recorded experimental punk-folk into his computer. In 2005 the two collaborated on their first co-written song, "Try not to let the rain in your boots, child." In March 2006, the song was selected to be on a compilation of Stanford University musicians, where Ayla was a student, under their original band name, Flatbread Kids. In July 2006, Davyd's song, "Little Window Open Up" was featured on the compilation, "Sounds of West Sonoma County." They were picked again for the Stanford compilation in March 2007 for Ayla's song, "Lulu." Beatbeat Whisper has made many radio appearances along both the West and East coasts of the United States, and toured both coasts as well. They have been featured in nationally circulated Paste Magazine, as well as the internationally-known music studio broadcast, Daytrotter. In early 2007, Beatbeat Whisper self-released a 10-track, self-titled album, recorded mostly in their Santa Cruz apartment. On May 1, 2008, they released their second full-length, Wonder Continental. Davyd and Ayla each have solo albums as well, recorded as That Blasted Hound and Ayla Nereo, respectively. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Beatbeat Whisper」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
