Their fresh track narrates the universal experience of unveiling one’s deepest secrets to a stranger amidst the chaos of life’s fleeting encounters. It’s an engaging contradiction set against a sonic backdrop that echoes the glam-rock era, with jazz-funk bass lines, catchy disco harmonies, and an enigmatic video reminiscent of German Expressionism.
Walt Disco’s commitment to innovation doesn’t stop there; the album ‘The Warping’ is an artful blend of classical orchestration with futuristic synth-pop that sidesteps the expected.

This unique fusion creates a record that’s identifiably their own — an intricate tapestry of sounds that invites fans to dance and reflect in equal measure.
