Duncan Sheik
Whisper House
2009, RCA Vicor
pop, indie

Released on the heels of his successful compositions for the Tony award-winning play Spring Awakening, Duncan Sheik’s newest Whisper House doesn’t seem all that different from a Broadway recording.
It’s pretty easy to give an EP five stars, considering that you have a shorter number of songs and therefore have more time to spend in concentrating on lyrical meaning when compared to a full-length album. Iron Ponies is probably the one exception to that rule, because it jumped out at me through the first listen.
