Halifax‘s Walrus will release their debut LP, Family Hangover, on June 9th via Madic Records. Described as a band that “could be thrown on a bill between Love and Sabbath,” their first full-length release features a soulful, fuzzed-out mix of swirling vocals, wailing guitar riffs, and Spacemen 3-style drone, all with a laid-back, ’60s-infused vibe.
The band offered a first taste of the album with the jangly lead single “Regular Face,” and today they share a Bob Ross-inspired video for the track (appropriately titled ‘The Joy of Painting with Walrus.’) You can watch the video where it premiered with CLRVYNT or via YouTube. Stream or download “Regular Face” here. Pre-order the album here.
Walrus has a handful of Canadian and US dates coming up this spring, including performances at CMW and Field Trip Festival and a string of dates with Preoccupations. See below for all upcoming shows (more TBA.)
