Five albums several tours and millions of streams later - and Foliage is carrying the torch for modern day jangle pop and indie rock. Walker’s forward progress is bigger and more confident than ever incorporating new influences ranging from Drum-N-Bass & IDM to Shoegaze & Bossa Nova and writing his most personal lyrics to date.
