: Release Notes: \/ , \/ ,
' '
,: On their third record, Canadian janglers Walter TV have it down :,
: to fascinating science. Much more than a simple side-project for :
:' Mac DemarcoÆs live band, theyÆre finding the delicate balance ':
,: between ambitious and addictive. A consistently engaging record, :,
: their Lynchian inspiration serves them all too well as avoid any :
:' inaccessibility that Lynch himself doesnÆt always attain. ':
,: :,
: On a blast of bass-tinged, digital vocals ôBegottenö moves to a :
:' tumbling chug of heavy drums. Through discordant harmonies, the ':
,: vocals even recall notes of Ty Segall through the passionate :,
: cries as the blend of rhythms offers constant excitement. :
:' Rushing through the pounding beats, the guitars are shredding ':
,: on ôGraceland.ö With a relentless fury between the :,
: instrumentation and the constantly unpredictable vocals and :
:' sounds, the track is brimming with life. ':
,: :,
: Switching to much more lo-fi tones, ôSpring Timeö is heavy bass :
:' and fluttering guitar, complementing each other through their ':
,: diversity. The upbeat sound of the track, elevated by the :,
: stop-and-go moments throughout, make for a real sense of fun in :
:' the instruments. In an understandably twisted tribute to Twin ':
,: Peaks, ôLaura Palmerö throttles through jangling guitars and :,
: bashful drumming. The loosely held together nature of the track :
:' makes it all the more enjoyable as it spins in bizarre ':
,: directions without ever feeling annoyingly eccentric. :,
: :
:' ôLast Dayö moves to even sunnier moods with Pierce McGarryÆs ':
,: ethereal vocals bringing things even higher. The stripped back :,
: guitar sounds, made trippy through the stereo production, give :
:' the whole track a laid back mood that fit the lyrics about ':
,: watching the Simpsons. Taking tropical melodies, ôAlaska :,
: Cruisinö has the most dance-focused groove on the record. The :
:' aggressive shredding breaks give an edge to the track that ':
,: makes the dynamic swaps with the verses all the more enjoyable. :,
: :
:' Falling back into more simple bass and drum grounds ôNo Other ':
,: Wayö is an enjoyable, bouncy track thatÆs just a tad redundant. :,
: Given a lot of the weird sonic touches in the vocals and weird :
:' synth moments, it does recover a bit of its boring feeling. ':
,: Driving up the heavy riffs, ôCattleö makes rhythm and melody one :,
: tight unit. The simple but smooth flow of the hook, made all the :
:' more abrasive by McGarryÆs delivery leaves it haunting but ':
,: memorable nonetheless. :,
: :
:' ôU + Yö tumbles between a swaying guitar line and rollicking ':
,: drums for something disorienting. The crash of the chorus :,
: however brings it all to an apex as the band dives into a crazy :
:' shred fest, complete with closing guitar fills that push the ':
,: song over the top. Going for the eccentric exitlude, ôLA JAMö :,
: ends the record on a raucous and twisted finale. Albeit a little :
:' flat outside of the context of the record, it does offer enough ':
,: solid moments to score a house party. :,
