Walt Disco – No Need For a Curtain EP
Glasgow five-piece Walt Disco impress with their debut release
With the current new-wave trend showing no signs of abating, Walt Disco are the latest local group to put their spin on the genre. The young five-piece have already earned a reputation for their fun, unpredictable live shows, and the energy and aesthetic of their gigs is slickly channelled into this debut EP.
Beach and Your Echoes Fall are both tightly wound indie-pop efforts, but it's the first two tracks of the EP that really demonstrate Walt Disco's potential. First track and lead single Dream Girl #2 is a woozy, tongue-in-cheek ballad that makes full use of co-frontman and bassist James Potter's crooning vocals, and No Need For a Curtain is a stormer of an 80s-indebted big room anthem.
No Need For A Curtain is an excellent taster EP from a band with mountains of potential.
