Two DeBaser reviews describe Whirr's music as dense, reverb-heavy shoegaze blending dream pop and post-rock. Distressor is framed as a sensory, amniotic drone with mixed appraisal; Around is depicted as romantic, slow and emotionally potent. Both reviews emphasize layered guitars, whispering/filtered vocals and strong atmosphere.
