Walkperson - Desired Effect EP
Desired Effect is the debut offering from Dublin based indie-alternative outfit Walkperson, the EP released under the band's own Urchin Music label earlier this month. Walkperson cite dEUS, Slowdive, PJ Harvey and BellX1 amongst influences, but are accredited as being more accessible than these influences might suggest, with occasional leanings into alt-country touched acts such as Ryan Adams, The Frames and The Shins.

Walkperson formed earlier this year by main songwriter and frontman Pearse McGloughlin, who had played the London indie-circuit for a year as well as stints in Montreal and France before finding home in Dublin. On his return from London, McGloughlin quickly paired up with Andrew Deacon on guitar who provided the songs with the textures they required. After several successful support slots Deacon and McGloughlin were soon joined by Alsez Bajgart from the Czech Republic on bass and James T Yearn on drums, whom McGloughlin had previously played with some years previous in Sligo outfit Socialite. As a solid unit of mixed backgrounds and influences, Walkperson are now in a strong position to build on this impressive debut release. 9/10.
