Hailing from Southend, Essex, but currently based in London, 22-year-old Leo Walrus releases today his debut collection of retro pop jewels titled I May Need Some Silence.
Out on Evil Tree #3 Records, the 11-song album sees the young artist masterfully creating psychedelic folk/pop bops in the 60s stylings but with a distinctive personal touch and modern indie sensibilities. Leo really embraces all his influences here and not locks himself with any limits. He confidently penned a captivating and nostalgic LP which shows infectious energy and clever songwriting.
After making such a great entrance it is very interesting to see where the artist would go next (it is a known fact that he is already working on the next release), but for now one thing is known for sure — he definitely knows how to write a song which sounds timeless and stays in your head for long after listening.
Highlights: “Can You Swim?”, “Angel Angel”, “The Smoke”.
