Walrus - Cool To Who - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Walrus are here to play for the sake of the song. The Halifax based band's signature sound is a fuzzed-out electric blanket of soul with a few unrepentant strands of authentic heaviosity. Extensive studio experimentation can be heard throughout their sonically unique music, from varispeed warble to Spacemen-3 style saucer drone-attacks. Live, their low-key manner belies a depth and dedication to the craft. This band could be thrown on a bill betwixt Love and Sabbath and not embarrass the present.Acclaim for Walrus InchLong, languid stretches of spacey meanderings eventually wind themselves up into tight knots that beg to be undone, to be free again... Walrus bring about a magnificent explosion of noise and heat.Inch // CONSEQUENCE OF SOUNDInch... thumping, synthing wonder... mixes the best influences of the genre with the band's own studio experimentationInch (4/5) // STEREOGUMInchThe band somehow mix gentle, Brian Wilson vocal melodies and orchestrations with out-of-the- blue punk thrash parts that keep listeners guessing. The high, winsome vocals and chiming 12- string Rickenbacker certainly conjured late '60s cloudy folk-pop, but the rest of the band infused the songs with sharp edges. Some of it recalled the Sadies, and the musicians in Walrus are certainly in the same league.Inch // EXCLAIM!InchBest bet for an acid flashbackInch // NOWInchPristine, fuzzed-up jamsInch // CLRVYNTOutside Music will support the with a full marketing and PR campaign.
