Corona Artist Residency: The Walking Who

Like psychedelic rock? Meet The Walking Who.

The Walking Who – Rohin Brown, Paul Mclean and Jay Drury recently enjoyed an artist residency at La Casa in Byron Bay courtesy of Corona. The psychedelic rockers kicked off their shoes and dug their toes deep into the sand to write and record songs for their upcoming, yet to be named, EP. “Being outside of the studio was so much more relaxed, it’s so much more natural recording in that environment because that’s how we write the songs,” says Jay.

The majority of the writing process took place in the idyllic setting of Byron Bay, which the band admit unexpectedly influenced their sound. Remnants of folk and country can be heard, mixed with equal parts positivity and darkness. “As you can imagine, the EP took a different turn thematically to a darker place (after the brick situation) and the first taste of this is ‘With Roses’ – although this song seemed to cling to those initial feelings of optimism,” says the band.

After leaping into the foresight of the general public and music industry tastemakers alike with the release of their debut EP Mansions in September last year the band has already enjoyed many accolades, including snagging the spot as Sydney’s FBi Radio Band of the Month, and support slots with The Growlers, King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, The Delta Riggs, The Drones, Dappled Cities, Palms and Sticky Fingers.
