âMurmurateâ is the first collection of songs to be released in Waltersâ own name since âGolden Veinsâ in 2020. The singer-songwriter explains it is not another âlockdown albumâ, but rather a reflection of the curious period that followed. Shifting from piano ballads, folk/pop poetry to a longing romantic duet (Lydia Oliver), âMurmurateâ often ruminates on the need for real-world relationships and the meaningful connections with those closest to us.
