Ears to Feed is proud to welcome singer-songwriter Walter Martin to this episode of In Conversation to talk about his brand new album The Bear.
Out now on Ile Flottante Music, this is Martin’s seventh solo release since his beloved band The Walkmen announced their indefinite hiatus back in 2013. If you have followed his career since, you know that Martin has quickly crafted a fruitful and satisfying discography with rich narratives full of personality and childlike wonder. On The Bear, he takes a humorous and honest look back at his life in music—both in the Walkmen and his first band Jonathan Fire Eater—to gain an understanding of where he is in his own life and what comes next.
In this conversation we discuss the recording of The Bear, working with oscar-nominated Minari composer Emile Mosseri, the likelihood of a Walkmen reunion down the line, our shared love of Randy Newman and Jonathan Richman, and so much more.
