Visionary Debut "Daughters" Blends Organic and Electronic Sounds in Powerful Exploration of Grief
29 Oct
Summary
- Walton's debut album "Daughters" is a maximalist take on the disarray and distortions of grief
- The album blends intricate, organic instrumentation and synths into pummelling cataclysms
- Walton's songwriting keys into unavoidably painful and prosaic moments of loss and estrangement
Walton's debut album "Daughters," released in the past year, has been hailed as a visionary work that transports the artist from the underground to the foreground. As a maximalist take on the disarray and distortions of grief, the album has drawn comparisons to the capacity for terror and awe found in the music of Phil Elverum, as well as the machine-anaesthetized intimacy of claire rousay and the furiously detailed intensity of Hakushi Hasegawa and Sufjan Stevens.
