Foliage, Cathedral Bells, The Waterbeds

San Bernardino, California is known for its high crime and poverty rate. Behind that lies a hidden gem, an ambitious musical wunderkind, seeking to break out from all of that. Meet Manuel Joseph Walker, a 20-year old from the slums of a broken city, crafting sophisticated & shimmering Jangle-pop out of his bedroom, with two records under his belt, both met with high acclaim among the Bandcamp community & other various Youtube taste-makers, Truths (2015) and Silence (2017). Reminiscent of bands like The Prefab Sprout, Wild Nothing, & Beach Fossils, and part of growing movement of young Chicano indie musicians, Walker paints his own world with Foliage, writing all of the music, playing all of the instruments, singing all of the vocals, and engineering his records all by himself.
