Walt Disco today share the astounding ‘Weightless’, a powerful and deeply personal reflection on frontperson James Potter’s experience with their gender identity as a non-binary person. The thundering, industrial-tinged track is accompanied by a fantasy influenced video directed by Eric J Liddle and Kasparas Vidunas with set design by Furmaan Ahmed.

Speaking on the new single, James explains “This song comes from thinking about how I live my life, how I present myself externally and also how I view myself internally. Lyrically it outlines my fear that I have not done enough to express my gender identity and delves into feelings on appearance and my body dysmorphia.” They continue “However the chorus is one of hope. Its message is that it is okay to have not always been sure about who you are or where you are going, and that it’s never too late to start finding new parts of yourself.”

“Weightless” and previous single “Selfish Lover” follow last year’s self-released Young Hard & Handsome EP and further highlights Walt Disco as a band that can defy convention to create a youthful, contemporary and queer world of their own making.

In addition, the band have announced their biggest headline show to-date at London’s Scala (capacity 1,000) for Wednesday 20th April 2022. Walt Disco also have forthcoming shows with Duran Duran, at Dot to Dot and TRSNMT festivals and their own Autumn headline tour, dates and tickets HERE.

Delighted to announce that we have signed Glasgow’s wonderful Walt Disco and their majestic debut single release with us, “Selfish Lover”, is out now.

Following last year’s self-released Young Hard & Handsome EP, the single further highlights Walt Disco as a band that can defy convention to create a youthful, contemporary and queer world of their own making. The band say of the new track:

“Last year we got creative with thinking about old experiences – who can’t relate to having a relationship where they were with a selfish lover?! The monotony of writing songs in our pyjamas made us want to think about the fun and chaotic times of the past and give ourselves the feeling of a party in our bedrooms by referencing modern hyperpop, 2000s girlgroups and the bands that inspired us to be who we are like Scissor Sisters, Dead or Alive and Frankie Goes To Hollywood.”

Walt Disco are Charlie Lock (bass), Jack Martin (drums), James Potter (vocals), Finlay McCarthy (guitar), David Morgan (keys) and Lewis Carmichael (guitar).

You can find Walt Disco on tour later in 2021, playing a raft of festivals alongside their own headline shows, tickets and dates available HERE.
