Rory Walker

Introducing you to Melbourne's newest folk artist; Rory, weaving through the motifs of obsessive adoration, frivolous spending and mental illness, Melbourne based singer/songwriter Rory paints with bright colours on a dark canvas, showing us that even the most bleak situations aren’t without a silver lining.

Despite being a fresh face on the scene, the past 2 months have seen Rory support many of Melbourne’s best acts including Didirri, Chitra and Merpire.

Rory’s debut single ‘Old Friends’ is a tantalising voyage into depression and vulnerability, it explores how these constructs always find their way back to a troubled mind and how they can manifest themselves in the form a Old Friend. His vocals waver between the delicate and intimate to urgent, dramatic wails.

Starting the song with a waltz tremolo drenched guitar Rory’s vocals are accompanied by haunting string arrangements played by Melbourne artist Ro, beautiful yet stirring harmonies and a reverberant, water damaged parlour style piano and a tremolo ridden guitar.

‘Old Friends’ is out now on all platforms.
