Baby Walrus

Baby Walrus’s self titled album is the work of Art in Manila, Flowers Forever collaborator Chris Senseney on guitar, keyboards and vocals and Spaceage Polymers members John P. Voris on percussion and Dylan Strimple on guitar and keyboards.

The diverse debut album growls and rambles like a Captain Beefheart in “Jump off a Cliff,” then croons with dark smoothness like a Nick Cave in “Some Dawns,” is collected and carnival and diner and lounge like a Tom Waits in “Bed Metal,” and is full of Jerry Lee Lewis piano crushing, hair tossing abandon in “What Plastic Box.” As intentionally murky and amateurish as it is sophisticated, Baby Walrus is a sound so totally original it is something you only expect from the bleak indie Midwest.
