Album Review: Told Slant - Point The Flashlight and Walk
“That thing peeking through the cracks is Walworth’s big bruised heart, which is in constant battle with their anxiety. It’s a war that rages across Flashlight, although you might not always realise it as it’s placed amidst gorgeous indie-folk, with pinging banjos and buzzing organ adding a rustic warmth to their homespun sound. Rather than break the instrumental spell by laying out all their woes in blunt language, Walworth often opts to uses images of fantastical animals and plants to express themselves – before clanging back to Earth with a hard-earned, real-world truth.”
Told Slant put out their first album in four years, the gorgeous Point The Flashlight and Walk, and I had a stab at reviewing it. Have a read on Beats Per Minute.
