If his hits like Heavy Bells are a war cry, then the deep cuts like Boys Can Never Tell are a tactical cosmic retreat. For some, his music is a form of religion, psychedelic in its intensity, transformative in its grip on the body, shaking loose something primal thats been buried too long. Its not about thinking, its about moving, feeling, surrendering. His influences are a riot of contradictions: Kurt Cobains fury, Nilssons fractured sweetness, Zeppelins power, and somewhere in there a perverted nod to William Onyeabors lonely calculator funk. Critics try to box him in, but Walston cant be containedhe does chaos, and his live shows do damage, but fortunately, his songs can pay the tab. Catch him and his band before he burns it all down again.
