Glasgow five-piece Walt Disco haven’t taken a second to slow down since the release of their 2022 debut, Unlearning. The project earned the band a hometown nomination for the Scottish Album of the Year, and invites to Glastonbury, Latitude, Austin City Limits, and South By Southwest. Their first US shows included supporting dates for HMLTD and Nation of Language, they have also shared stages with Simple Minds, Primal Scream, and Duran Duran, and Tilda Swinton called them "her favorite new band." It’s on the back of this anticipation that the band began plotting their sophomore effort, The Warping, which arrived on June 14 via Lucky Number.
To help celebrate the release the band headed to Alexandra Park in their beautiful hometown of Glasgow to offer up a delightful “Neighborhoods” session. The group chose to perform recent standout cut “Come Undone,” which serves as an emotional centerpiece of sorts for The Warping. "We chose this spot because it’s a really beautiful green space right in the heart of Glasgow, and it’s actually in our neighborhood," the band's Jack Martin reveals in the video. "We spend a lot of time here together on the rare sunny days and hang out in the park ... It‘s very near home and very near to our hearts. It’s a place that we’re very fond of.”
Regarding “Come Undone,” singer Jocelyn Si said: “‘Come Undone’ is our lonely party song, it’s about the yearning for company, physical touch, and sexuality that is often universally felt by a person who is single.
“These desires can be briefly satisfied by dates and short flings and, at those times, I’d find I would open up more to these strangers than to friends that I’d known and loved for years. ‘Nobody sees me the way you perceive me is easy’ is quite a ridiculous thing to say about someone you have just met.”
