WHAT'S ON
Walt Disco
Walt Disco’s debut release Unlearning in 2022 picked up nominations for the Scottish Album of the Year (SAY) Award and AIM Independent Album of the Year, while recent shows at SXSW, festivals across Europe and support stints with Primal Scream and Duran Duran have seen the Glasgow band reach new fanbases and cross genre divides. Their new LP The Warping, written on both sides of the Atlantic, marks a significant step forward from a band on the rise.
Baby’s Berserk
Following on from the critically acclaimed singles What I Mean (2020) and Toxic Kisses (2022), Baby’s Berserk’s highly anticipated self-titled full-length is now finally about to see the light. In the great tradition of Roxy Music, Throbbing Gristle and Malcolm McLaren, the band readily blend their sounds with fashion. If you’ve always wanted to see an electronic band with a punk attitude perform wearing a mix of haute couture and Flintstone-style rags, look no further.
Ray Laurél
A psych-soul crosshatch of Prince, Parliament-Funkadelic, Tame Impala and Childish Gambino that details tales of unbridled desire and forbidden love in lyrical choreography.
