Told Slant

Essentially a collaborative solo enterprise for songwriter and singer Felix Walworth, Told Slant is an introspective indie rock outfit based in Brooklyn. A multi-instrumentalist who focuses on drums, Walworth grew up in a musical environment with father Danny Walworth, who drummed alongside guitarist Thurston Moore in the pre-Sonic Youth group the Coachmen. The younger drummer started Told Slant as an undergraduate at Bard College. Walworth's intimate and delicately off-kilter first LP, Still Water, was self-released in 2012. A member of the Epoch -- a New York arts collective that's included similarly songwriter-anchored acts such as Eskimeaux (Gabrielle Smith), Florist (Emily Sprague), and Bellows (Oliver Kalb) -- Walworth toured and recorded on multiple occasions with these and other bands as a full-time musician in the years that followed. Told Slant's sophomore album, Going By, was released by Double Double Whammy and Run for Cover Records in June 2016. ~ Marcy Donelson
