Weirdo pop band Walter TV were formed in Vancouver, British Columbia in 2010 by a ragtag crew of Technicolor sound sculptors, Pierce McGarry, Joe McMurray, and Simon Ankenman. The bandmembers relocated to Montreal, where they moved into a house with <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Captured+Tracks%22">Captured Tracks</a> solo artist <a href="spotify:artist:3Sz7ZnJQBIHsXLUSo0OQtM">Mac DeMarco</a> and a host of other ravenously creative musicians. In a new locale and immersed in a new creative community, Walter TV completed their first proper full-length, 2012's Appetite. They also quickly joined on as touring musicians for <a href="spotify:artist:3Sz7ZnJQBIHsXLUSo0OQtM">DeMarco</a>'s live band, backing him up along with <a href="spotify:artist:4DMSJzGjw2SMkKAT5EEE5u">Homeshake</a> mastermind Peter Sagar. A busy touring schedule with <a href="spotify:artist:3Sz7ZnJQBIHsXLUSo0OQtM">DeMarco</a> slowed down the creative process somewhat for Walter TV, but the members still worked on the project when they could. In 2014 <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Captured+Tracks%22">Captured Tracks</a> subsidiary label <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Sinderlyn+Records%22">Sinderlyn Records</a> issued a deluxe reissue of Appetite, which was initially only available as a cassette release. The band returned in 2015 with Blessed, a set of songs written and recorded in Montreal and on the road with <a href="spotify:artist:3Sz7ZnJQBIHsXLUSo0OQtM">DeMarco</a>. Two years later in the summer of 2017, Walter TV issued their vibrant and slightly more introspective third long-player, Carpe Diem. ~ Fred Thomas, Rovi
