For a band tempted to start over entirely, walt disco’s new music doesn’t erase the past: it turns it into art worth living.

Rather than a rebirth, the band’s next era is something harder won: a continuation, sharpened by doubt, grounded in their evolving personal identities, and driven by the belief that they can still become exactly what they were chasing all along - a generation-defining band who dared to do something unique.

As such, ‘Coup de foudre’ is an exhilarating and unexpected jolt of 2000s dancefloor intensity, both lustful in energy and liberated in spirit. Also, amidst its sparkling guitars and soaring chorus, ‘Lies’ is a deceptively bittersweet portrayal of doubt, questioning whether our illusion of everyday stability is in fact preferable than the reality.

With a palette ranging from <a href="spotify:artist:40Yq4vzPs9VNUrIBG5Jr2i" data-name="The Smashing Pumpkins">The Smashing Pumpkins</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:3TNt4aUIxgfy9aoaft5Jj2" data-name="Yeah Yeah Yeahs">Yeah Yeah Yeahs</a> to <a href="spotify:artist:5Wabl1lPdNOeIn0SQ5A1mp" data-name="Cocteau Twins">Cocteau Twins</a>, the upcoming new self-titled album sees walt disco turn years’ worth of graft to their artistic advantage; a fearlessly ambitious alt-rock opus that could come from no other group.
