Atheist Love Songs To God

Whip is the solo project of Timesbold's Jason Merritt, and functions as an outlet for some of his less band-oriented musings; those that are better served by more sparse, minimal arrangements. His second full-length as Whip, Atheist Lovesongs To God is the result of a prolonged period of solitude towards the end of 2003 when, having just returned from a tour with Timesbold, Merritt simply shut himself into his home in Brooklyn, and stayed there. The recurring theme throughout the album is hinted at in the title; Whip's inability to allow any sort of God into his life, while harbouring an overwhelming need for the sense of solace and security that it may provide.
