Leo Walrus – “Old Words, New Mess”

Born in Southend and based in South-West London, this British singer and songwriter started writing little stories as a child, which later evolved in writing songs. He went to BIMM Music Institute to hone his musical skills. Having forged a folk-rock sound steeped in the hazy 60s and early 70s, he’s been performing live in venues like The Troubadour and on festivals such as Friends Of Friends. Inspired by Lou Reed, Nick Drake and Steve Lacy, he released his debut “Creeper Star” in 2022.

Reminiscent of the softer songs by The Beatles, his new single is a warm and inviting throwback to the 60s. Taken from his upcoming album “Moontime”, expected in the coming months, he created a smooth, analogue sound with a mellow piano, which is later joined by punchy drums and melodic electric guitars. Taking us by the ear on his breezy trip to yesteryear, it’s his captivating, retro-touched vocals that give this smooth groove a sense of style and a distinct earworm quality.
