Formless grooves and elegant ambience from the London-based duo.
The beauty of WALLS is that there are none. Musically speaking, at least. There’s nothing to lean against, or prop yourself up on, with the London-based pair of Italian Alessio Natalizia and Mancunian Sam Willis, who also have day jobs with Banjo or Freakout and the DJ duo/podcast purveyors Allez Allez respectively. Their self-titled debut from 2010 scooped a handful of album of the year nods, and they’ve gained fans in Jamie xx, Caribou, James Holden and Battles – the latter even invited WALLS’ formless grooves onto the road with them.
A soundtrack to lift the heaviest of heads from narcotic slumber.
Morning-after electro from a pair of London-based sorts with previous form in underground outfits, the debut album from Walls is the kind of woozy fare designed to soundtrack the haziest of dawns, to lift the heaviest of heads from narcotic slumber. It’s a collection – brief at less than 30 minutes in length – that shifts from fuzzy drones to gentle beats and synths as spied through gauze of stripped circuit boards and old CPUs. But such is its lightness of touch that the listener may struggle to remember any aspect of it once the curtain’s fallen.
