Walter the Producer Drops New EP

Walter The Producer continues to blaze musical trails with the release of his highly anticipated new EP, Modern Rock, out now. A soul-stirring sonic joyride through an array of genres, the six-track project showcases Walter The Producer’s signature blend of heartfelt storytelling and genre-bending production.

Modern Rock features the dramatically spacey new single, “Lonely Cowboy,” which Walter The Producer crafted with his collaborator, Alex Beitzke, during a whirlwind recording session last Spring.

“I came up with his guitar riff, and we built the song around that,” shares Walter The Producer.

“Then, a couple of months later, we got back together and re-recorded everything in a key higher. At the time, I was listening to a lot of Jimi Hendrix. So, I was definitely inspired by Hendrix. But also, by AC/DC and Brent Faiyaz’s song called ‘L.A.’”

Part indie, part soul, part fever dream, Modern Rock is fully Walter The Producer, who has been heralded as everything from “a psychedelic architect” to “borderlessly creative” by outlets like Pigeons & Planes and GLIDE Magazine. Ones To Watch describes the EP as “an effervescent thrill ride through many shades of rock.”

In addition to “Lonely Cowboy,” Modern Rock features previously released singles “Little Lies,” “I’d Know,” “Tell Me Again,” “Bad Bad Man,” and “Roadtrip.”

Roadtrip,” which dropped last month, has been fueled by praise from Fashionably Early, and Saving Connie to Idobi “It’s carefully unkempt, like a velvet jacket thrown over pajamas,” proclaimed Where the Music Meets. “It’s catchy in that sneaky way where you’re humming it three hours later and wondering how it got there in the first place.”

Walter The Producer tends not to overshare. He’d prefer you just listen. So, when asked about the title of his new EP, he put it simply: “The songs just felt like modern rock.”
