Adam Walton 'Afal' - 2nd birthday post...

Vinyl copies of 'Afal' are half price for a limited time. It's my birthday, you see...

Two years ago (give or take a week or four), I released a solo album called ‘Afal’.

To coincide with the album’s birthday - and, it transpires, my birthday too - I’ve halved the price of the really good vinyl pressing I have for sale on bandcamp.

There are about 100 copies left.

You can buy one here:

You won’t regret it if you like melancholic, yearning pop music.

The cost of the album also includes a download code so that you can listen to it digitally too. Given the shameless way the streaming platforms continue to shaft independent artists, and their insistence on talking about ‘content’ as if it’s an ever-growing gyre of plastic waste, ‘Afal’ is unlikely to stay on those shameless, shithouse platforms for much longer. I just need to grow enough backbone to deprive them of my genius.

WINKING EMOJI.

‘Afal’ was pulled out of the strange ethers floating around Covid lockdowns, in the hours after I’d finished producing Janice Long’s evening shows on BBC Radio Wales.

The world was a lonely, sad, weird place back then. As opposed to the angry, fucked and terrifying world we’re inhabiting now.

I whispered those songs at 3am so as to not wake my neighbours and their baby son through the adjoining wall.

I’m really proud of ‘Afal’. It’s a collection of songs, moods and ideas that do that thing that some good albums do… transporting the listener somewhere other in a lysergic haze of half decent melodies. The people who have listened to it seem to really like it. Including some of my favourite artists and music writers.

£7.50 + p&p … for a limited time only.

Thank you for your ears and your time x
