Felix Walworth has been involved with countless other bands you already know and love, including another entry on this list, Florist, and other Epoch groups Eskimeaux and Bellows. But Told Slant is their (Walworth uses gender neutral pronouns) own personal project and “Going By” is the second official release from them–they previously shared an album via Bandcamp, 2012’s Still Water. The fragility of Walworth’s voice belies a quiet strength and introspection that typifies the songs on Going By, whether it’s the whispering tremor of “Delicate” or a hushed triumphant epiphany on “Low Hymnal”: Felix, you can battering ram this life. This is intricate, intimate folk-rock for the tender-hearted and downtrodden, skeptics need not apply.
