Oxford-based singer-songwriter Richard Walters is today releasing his fifth album, ‘Golden Veins’, via Cooking Vinyl; the latest addition to an extensive back-catalogue that boasts four albums (including his critically-acclaimed debut, ‘The Animal’), four EPs and numerous standalone singles and collaborations, one of which being a new band called LYR with poet laureate, Simon Armitage. The nine songs that constitute this new record – his most ambitious and personal work to date – reveal a truly original artist in a constant state of evolution and reinvention. ‘Golden Veins’ is a sublime collection of songs – including the singles ‘Kintsugi’ and ‘Big Joy’ – that shows Walters’ finely-tuned ability to effortlessly fuse tender, lo-fi minimalism with breathtaking electronic arrangements and almost-psychedelic walls of sound.
