Our Take

WALTER TV's latest album "Carpe Diem" is a wild, unpredictable ride that feels like a wacky weekend escapade with your most eccentric friends. The Canadian lo-fi rock trio have crafted an album that's equal parts chaotic and catchy, with songs that jump from jangly guitar riffs to psychedelic synth swirls with reckless abandon.

Tracks like "Fro-Yo Ma" and "Veggie Burger" showcase the band's off-kilter sense of humor and penchant for absurd lyrical wordplay, while "DIY BBQ" channels a laid-back, sun-soaked vibe that's perfect for lazy summer afternoons. The album's production may be purposely shaggy and DIY, but underneath the fuzz and distortion lies a sense of genuine joy and camaraderie that's infectious.

While "Carpe Diem" may not be the most polished or technically impressive album you'll hear this year, it's certainly one of the most fun and bizarre. WALTER TV have a knack for turning chaos into charm, and their ability to blend genres and styles in such a haphazard manner only adds to the album's appeal.

So grab a slice of vegan pizza, put on your thrift store sunglasses, and crank up "Carpe Diem" for a rollicking good time. Just remember to buckle up, because with WALTER TV behind the wheel, you never know where you'll end up.

About the artist

Walter TV

WALTER TV are the enigmatic trio hailing from Vancouver, Canada, who have been making waves in the lo-fi psychedelic rock scene since their formation in 2010. Comprised of Pierce McGarry, Joe McMurray, and Simon Ankenman, WALTER TV have a knack for creating dreamy, off-kilter tunes that are as infectious as they are confusing. With a sound that falls somewhere between Mac DeMarco and Ariel Pink, WALTER TV's music is a hazy blend of lo-fi production, cryptic lyrics, and catchy hooks that will have you bobbing your head and scratching it at the same time. Their live performances are a whirlwind of energy and strangeness, with McGarry's unpredictable stage presence keeping audiences on their toes. Despite their lack of mainstream success, WALTER TV have garnered a dedicated fan base and critical acclaim for their unique sound and DIY ethos. Their discography, which includes albums like "Appetite" and "Carpe Diem," is a testament to their ability to push boundaries and defy categorization. Whether you're a seasoned indie rock connoisseur or a casual music lover looking for something a bit out of the ordinary, WALTER TV are definitely worth a listen. Just be prepared to enter a musical rabbit hole that is as entertaining as it is confounding.
