Though Swell Tone already has a whole playlist dedicated to dad dancing, I might love Songs For Dads more. Chicago’s The Walters are making particularly dreamy pop with a splash of sunshine and a full-on ability to make listeners swoon. The gentle, breezy little numbers that comprise Songs For Dads really make a smooth and complete formation of their signature sound. Even though it came out in November, I’m just unashamedly falling in love with it now. With softly pressed keys, tingling tambourine, gliding guitar, and open professions of love, it’s simply hard not to. I’m certainly hoping these “five regular hunks” have more in store for 2015 and (of course) that they come to Philadelphia.

Jopling does a great job capturing the little things and making you think with unexpected twists and turns. Watch for yourself to learn more about teddy bear love affairs and hear the swoon-worthy pop of The Walters. Then, listen to the rest of their EP. […]
