California by way of Germany’s Talker is a blast from the ’90s. Not in the “oh hey look I am a 90’s kid trying to recreate my childhood” sort of way, but literally someone who would have fit right into the ranks with acts like Garbage, Sound Garden, and yes…even Nirvana. With that said, here in 2019, Talker gets to stand out rather than blend in which is great news for music fans.
Talker‘s debut EP Horror Films is everything a grunge fan could possibly ask for. The buildups, the distorted guitars, the all-encompassing feeling of a drenching downpour. Horror Films is the street lights coming on at one in the afternoon.
The five-song release is the perfect showcase of what Talker is capable of and what to expect from her in the future. All that’s left is for her to move to Seattle, it’s hard to imagine a better fit anywhere in the world than the city that created the sound.
