Karli IngersollErik Walters is a Spokane native and former member of The Globes. The Globes moved over to Seattle after high school to pursue music full time. They got signed to Barsuk after a lot of hard work and released an amazing album called, Future Self. If you don’t own it…go here and remedy that situation.
The Globes have (sadly) been on hiatus since their performance at Elkfest in 2012 but one of their fronting members, Erik Walters has been busy continuing to make music. His new project is titled, Silver Torches and he just released a full length album. Obviously, fans of the Globes will love it. But if The Globes were maybe a little too rock or prog influenced for your taste, you will definitely be into this. Erik has quite a bit of pop-sensibility to his writing and is a master of crafting beautiful melodies. Silver Torches is essentially a “Seattle band” but I would love to see Spokane get behind this record and what Erik is doing. It’s got a lot of depth, an incredible level of quality and I think it is his best work yet. So, take a listen below or head over to the bandcamp page.
