Reception
Pitchfork Media ranked the song #68 on its list of the Top 100 Tracks of 2011, with author Amy Phillips writing: "The Joy Formidable aren't headlining soccer stadiums quite yet, but you wouldn't know it from listening to 'Whirring'. An aerobic rush of a song that builds to the kind of explosive alt-rock chorus that would've blown the roof off of '120 Minutes' circa 1995, it's the kind of thing that gets you pumped to run up a steep hill, lift heavy objects, or defeat Bob Dole's Presidential run."[1]
Music video
The original music video for "Whirring", directed by Dain Bedford, was released in 2009 and was filmed in Northern Wales.[2] A second music video, directed by Christopher Mills, was released on March 8, 2011 on MTV's website. The 2011 version is a surrealist music video featuring the band exploring a house full of cats and them descending deeper and deeper through the house's layers.[3]
The 2011 music video was the first video the air on the premier episode of 120 Minutes with Matt Pinfield.[4]
