There’s a lot of overlap and interplay in the LA garage-rock scene. Aside from sharing the pillars of that genre in their music – the vocals that fluctuate from a bored, chant-like apathy to a howl of subversive frustration, a compliment of warped amplifiers – there’s quite a bit of intermingling and side projects between musicians. Take Patrick Noland, Ross Chant and Misha Lindes, who have come together to moonlight as the three-man band Walter. Taking a detour from their respective ensembles (Meatbodies, Ducktails, and Sadgirl), the boys have dropped a brazen new LP, Get Well Soon, under the Mock Records label. It’s a gritty, tongue-in-cheek compilation that’s still humming somewhat under the radar, at least for now. -Thrd Coast LP limited to 250 copies. Turquoise wax (this).
