If The Waltz were a drink, it”d be a slamming cocktail of Panoramix”s magic potion, mixed with Red Bull, some coffee and a strong Belgian Tripel beer. Young, eager and firmly rooted in the present, The Waltz present an eclectic sound best described as post-punk larded with a heavy dose of noise and a hint of pop. During the pandemic, The Waltz dove into the DUNK! Studios in Zottegem, Belgium and recorded their debut album. When asked if there”s a common thread running through the album, the answer was “”not what it seems””. The lyrics, sprung from the turbulent brain of singer/vocalist – and part time anthropologist – Kevin Anne, are seemingly inspired by a macabre mirrored world only he knows exists. The result is a crushing debut-album with barbed-wired songs and catchy hooks: sometimes wildly kicking around (“”Egocide””) and sometimes anointing and soft (“”Prying Eyes””). The Waltz are a band that perfectly capture the zeitgeist of 2021. A firm head-butt with a kiss on the cheek afterwards. You won”t know what to remember first: the bang or the catharsis.
