Whispertown, the songwriting vehicle for Morgan Nadler that was originally known as Whispertown2000 and then The Whispertown 2000, has emerged with new music for the first time since 2009’s “Done With Love” EP. And it’s different. On her 2008 album “Swim,” released via Acony Records (the imprint helmed by Gillian Welch and Dave Rawlings), Nagler framed her wistful ruminations in woozy folk. The first single from the forthcoming album “Parallel” album is neither particularly woozy nor folk; “Open the Other Eye” is an assertive synth-pop number featuring a gauzy web of vocals from Nagler, Maria Taylor, Neva Dinova’s Jake Bellows and Now It’s Overhead’s Andy Lemaster. LeMaster, the Athens, Ga., studio guru has worked with the likes of Bright Eyes, Azure Ray, Taylor and L.A.’s own Mezzanine Owls, recorded and mixed the album, with Bellows co-producing.
