Jennifer Walton- Daughters
Local Action is proud to present 'Daughters', the debut album by Jennifer Walton.Walton is a beloved figure across various sectors of the alternative music underground. Outside of her own music and soundtrack work, she has been a live drummer for Kero Kero Bonito, collaborates with Sarah Midori Perry on the pair's Cryalot project, has remixed Metronomy and worked with Iceboy Violet, BABii and more. She also makes music and DJs with close friends aya and 96 Back under the name Microplastics, and recently contributed to London collective caroline's acclaimed caroline 2 album. The first seeds of Walton's debut album were sowed during touring North America in 2018, where whilst ticking off life-long music goals, Walton's father was dying of cancer. Grief is a constant presence throughout 'Daughters', and specifically the surreal nature of having to process it amongst a blur of airports, flight connections, hotel rooms and battles for stolen medication with the American healthcare system. Strip malls, drug deals, panic attacks; the artificiality of downtown American city districts dovetailing with reality in it's most brutal form. Miss America for a day while life is changed forever. Weaving between real life diary entries, travelogue-style storytelling, imagery that ranges from mechanical to religious and a scattering of fiction (though we are obliged to mention that 'Shelly' is based on a true story), Daughters climaxes with the staggering run of 'Saints', 'Miss America' and it's title track. Sampling unattended machines harmonizing bleeps into the void in a London hospital ward, 'Saints' narrates Walton taking her father to and from cancer research trials, 'sat, hunched and sick in the concourse as minutes became hours'. And to be very real for a moment, Jen is a friend, and first hearing the 'Miss America' demo is up there with the most emotional moments we've had in 15 years of running this record label.Finished in London across the second half of 2024, 'Daughters' features musical contributions from some of the closest friends and collaborators that Walton has made in her time as a musician: aya (who also mixed the album), Daniel S. Evans, Joshua Barfood and Nick Granata (all of Shovel Dance), Alex McKenzie (of caroline and Shovel Dance), Aga Ujma, and Bob Lockwood. Tracklisting:A1. Sometimes A2. Born Again Backwards A3. Shelly A4. Lambs A5. Saints B1. Miss America B2. Daughters B3. It Eats Itself B4. The Only Way Is Through
