Walt Disco’s self-titled album, Walt Disco, pulls you straight into their high-velocity world. It’s the sound of years of graft paying off, with the band turning experience into something sharp, ambitious and fully their own.

The songs wrestle with growing up through gender dysphoria, shifting relationships and a volatile industry, before landing somewhere warmer: gratitude, acceptance and clarity. It’s a fearless alt-rock record that feels specific to Walt Disco, with Coup de foudre and Lies among its highlights.
