New Band of the Week - 12/12/11 - WALLS

Not so much our newest band we've featured, but I feel compelled to give these guys our Band of the Week after they blew me away as the support band for The Field last Thursday.

WALLS are an incredible blissed out cut of shoegazed laden sonically challenging electronica, with some mean beats to get your groove on to. Veering towards a dancier sound, this duo pull influences from everywhere apparently, from everything to Mogwai to Daft Punk. Hints of early M83 lie scattered amongst the shards of echoey guitars and industrial landscapes.

 Again like all my favourite artists, they find a way to pull a plethora of sounds together to create real substance and real melody within the walls of sound they create (mind the pun). This is demonstrated rather well on their track Heat Gaze.

The future looks bright for WALLS. Rave reviews follow their every release, and their live show, as referred to earlier, is nothing less than ear bleedingly brilliant.
