TV STAGE TUBE: Duncan Sheik's 'Whisper House' EARTHBOUND STARLIGHT Music Video

Grammy® and Tony® award-winning songwriter and composer Duncan Sheik returns with his new album Whisper House, which hits stores today January 27 on the Victor Records/Sony label. BWW TV is excited to bring you the first music video from Whisper House, 'Earthbound Starlight'.

The collection of songs was written for a forthcoming theatrical piece. Whisper House marks Sheik's first solo album since 2006's critically-acclaimed White Limousine and comes on the heels of the success of Spring Awakening.

In February, Sheik will embark on a nationwide tour featuring original Spring Awakening cast member Lauren Pritchard. On Whisper House, Sheik employs a narrative approach to songwriting, combining elements of the chamber pop that first brought him critical and commercial acclaim.

Much like Spring Awakening, which The New York Times praised as a "deft blend of straight-up rock, folk and melodic pop," Whisper House is just as much a pop record as it is a musical theatre composition.

Structured as a melodrama, each of the 10 songs on the album weave together to tell the story of a child's grief and spinster's longing as seen through the eyes of the ghosts that haunt the remote, World War II-era Maine lighthouse where they live.

Singer-keyboardist Holly Brook plays a prominent role alongside Sheik on several of the songs.
