Glasgow’s Walt Disco have released brand new single and video “Come Undone”, the fourth track to emerge from their forthcoming second album The Warping, out June 14 via Lucky Number. Co-written with labelmate Jessica Winter, the standout single is accompanied by a striking, stylish video inspired by German expressionist cinema and directed by Kasparas Vidunas and Eric J. Liddle.
““Come Undone” is our lonely party song, it’s about the yearning for company, physical touch, and sexuality that is often universally felt by a person who is single,” explains singer Jocelyn Si. “These desires can be briefly satisfied by dates and short flings and, at those times, I’d find I would open up more to these strangers than to friends that I’d known and loved for years. ‘Nobody sees me the way you perceive me is easy’ is quite a ridiculous thing to say about someone you have just met.”
Written on both sides of the Atlantic, from Los Angeles and Austin to Glasgow and London, The Warping is a significant step forward for the band. Deeply personal, deft lyricism examines feelings of envy, fear, joy and hope. Yearning for another self is a recurring dream on The Warping, as they explore gender dysphoria and envy with radical honesty, accepting them as two tangled threads in the same experience.
Upon their first stint in the US, the Glasgow 5-piece were hailed as BrooklynVegan, Austin Chronicle and Rolling Stone’s ‘best bands of SXSW’. Following a rollicking European support run with OMD, Walt Disco will join electronic pop pioneers for a lengthy support tour across North America this Fall. They have also just announced a UK + EU headline tour and will headline the launch event for Charles Jeffrey’s ‘The Lore Of Loverboy’ exhibition at Somerset House on June 19, building on the band’s longstanding collaborative relationship with the leading Scottish designer.
