Editor's review
The Jesus and Mary Chain's pop sensibility criss-crosses with the Gun Club's malignant blues in Jorma Whittaker's dark music. Previously in the group Marmoset, Whittaker has relocated to Brooklyn and is recording under his own name for Secretly Canadian.
Biography
Jorma Whittaker busts out of the sarcophagus known as Marmoset, the
dark pop band he has fronted since 1995. Marmoset released 3 full
lengths, an ep, and several 7"es before imploding last year.
Starting his musical career in Indianapolis, Jorma has since moved to Brooklyn, New York where he has been jobless and thus evicted from his apartment.
His father...simply known as "Whitey" was the bus driver for the band Rush for over 10 years. Do not expect a Jorma Whittaker/Geddy Lee duet.
