Walter TV Carpe DiemLP/CD • Hometown: Vancouver, BC • Fall 2017 tour dates TBA • National college and speacialty radio campaign via Terrorbird • Mac DeMarco’s touring band • Third Album What is there to be said that hasn’t already been said about the old Walter TV band? Our main men in the group (Joe McMurray, Simon Ankenman, Pierce McGarry) are either aged 30 or close to. They do their best to make music that is meaningful, interesting, and…danceable? Emotionally razed these bad boys are pumping out of the ashes, instruments in hand. With their new release, Carpe Diem, Walter TV has taken their version of LYN-031 lo-fi recording to a near professional level (or at least attempted to). The album deals with all the classic tropes that no person can seem to escape 01. Begotten or avoid (except the enlightened few) including, suffering, loss, death, love, 02. Graceland 03. Springtime chaos, inevitability, declining conditions of earth, self inflicted spiritual pain, 04. Laura Palmer heart attacks, forfeiture of morals, yearning, attempts at doing the right thing, 05. Last Day karma (police), moments of clarity, depression, introversion/extroversion, the 06. Alaska Cruisin singularity, technological advancements, neglect, insults of opulence, lack of 07. No Other Way community and looking out for your fellow people, being paranoid…you get 08. Cattle the point! 09. U + Y 10.
