Whaler Jr. by Whaler Jr.
"This album was recorded on a handheld tape recorder and mixed through my iPhone on Garageband. Each song has different meaning to me but generally this album wasn't created to take itself too seriously because I certainly don't. I like simple, fun, and easy-groovin' music so I hope this group of songs reflects that and if you're listening I hope you enjoy the tunes."

Whaler Jr. is the recording solo project of Brendan McHale. After keeping a handheld tape recorder used as a prop in his high school play, McHale started creating home recordings with his acoustic guitar. This production style is apparent on WJ's self-titled release. As technology advanced, the process transitioned from recording only with tape to adding his mobile phone as well.
