LEO WALRUS UP SOMEWHERE

South west-London residing jangle-pop artist Leo Walrus has been making music since he was thirteen. Now 21, the artist has hit new heights with his latest single. ‘Up Somewhere’ is “a song of idealistic searching, born from a need to find certainty - an embrace of simplicity and stability,” he explains. “[It] was recorded only a couple days after the ideas had been fully realised, capturing the euphoric bravery of unashamed joy. It’s an optimistic song.” Its textures are warm and magnetic, with the subtle beauty of the modern sound of jangle pop captured in every chord and melody. -Dan Peeke
