GeneralFuckedUpnessNotWithstanding (2023) is the fourth Walker Diver album.
Musically, the album contains the trusted mix of alt.country, power pop and indie rock. Lyrically, it is by far Walker Diver’s most topical album to date, reflecting the time we are living in today. Desperate times call for hopeful measures.
The lyrics deal with the COVID crisis, gender issues, the increase of violence among young kids, social inequality and the influence of social media on public debate. It took nearly four years to make the album, partly because of the lockdowns. A lot of the time town went into reflecting on these current affairs and writing new songs. The album was recorded in three different studios, with three different producers and a whole lot of guest musicians. It proved quite a challenge to make a coherent record out of all these different sessions, but thanks to Rogier Hemmes’ magic, who mastered the album, it all worked out fine.
The album is available on beautiful vinyl and on cassette tape from Gram Records, or online at Bandcamp, Spotify and other platforms.
