Walrus: Played Out

This new track is as heavy as the Halifax band's name suggests, with sludgy Sabbath riffs interspersed with trippy passages.

Walrus: Played Out

By Kerry Doole

 Walrus -  Played Out (Outside Music): As the band name suggests, the sound of this Halifax quartet is seriously heavy. Its doom meets psych meets garage rock style is vividly displayed on this track, taken from upcoming second album Cool To Who, out Oct. 18,  via Outside Music. 


After a Sabbath-like intro, the cut takes a trippy turn, then returns to the heavy. Sure to appeal to Black Mountain fans.

An eye-catching video clip for the song came out yesterday. In a press release, director, Jeff Miller explains that “The Played Out video is like time traveling through my wrestling fandom. I started editing music videos to bootlegged wrestling clips when I was in the 7th grade, and that sparked a full-on career as a music video director/editor. When Walrus said they wanted a video for Played Out, their only stipulation was that it was somehow pro wrestling related and it was like everything had come full circle.”

Brothers Jordan and Justin Murphy formed Walrus in 2012. The band, known as road warriors, is reportedly banned from Avis Rental Car for excessive mileage totals. Walrus tours extensively in the fall, playing headlining shows Sept. 17-21, then supporting Thrush Hermit and Wintersleep. Tour dates here

604 Records Co-Founder Jonathan Simkin Says Carly Rae Jepsen Recorded a Whole Unreleased Album Around 'Call Me Maybe'

The British Columbia-native was signed to Interscope Records, but was reportedly tasked to make a brand new record with all new producers.

An unreleased Carly Rae Jepsen project exists out in the music ether, according to Jonathan Simkin.

In a recent podcast episode of I Hate Simkin, the 604 Records co-founder reveals that prior to the No. 1 success of Jepsen’s “Call Me Maybe,” an entire project had been made — but it didn’t make it to the masses.
