Boston’s Alex Walton delivers pared-down songs with punk rock textures and the soul of vintage pop. Shades of early Girls and Personal and the Pizzas. The production quality on 2020’s Shame Music is all over the map, but the true charm of Walton’s songwriting always shines through. Our highlighted track “Cordelia” keeps it simple with a watusi-worthy chord progression.
