The Animal

Co-produced by David Kosten (Bat for Lashes) and Ant Whiting (M.I.A. / Zero 7), The Animal has already received across-the-board praise from the UK press, earning comparisons to Jeff Buckley and Antony and the Johnsons, among others. Recently opening for The Cranberries at Royal Albert Hall, Walters has also shared the stage with such distinguished artists as the Dave Matthews Band, Grant Lee Phillips and Imogen Heap. The Animal is a collection of beautiful piano and guitar ballads adorned with a hint of strings to which Walters lends his angelic, gentle falsetto. The Animal tackles such serious subject matters as love and loss, domestic abuse (from the point of view of the abuser), addiction and epilepsy. The US release adds the bonus tracks "Elephant in the Room" and "Julia"!
