Antiglot II is the sequel to 2017’s Antiglot. There are still no lyrics, and the music is again composed using only vocal layers and body sounds, but this time they are not about political turmoil. The songs are sonic diary entries of emotion Walsh experienced through travel (“Derb Chtouka” is a street in Marrakech, “Wimberley” is a small town in Texas, “Medellín” is the capital of Antioquia, Colombia), through viewing art (“Hilma Swan” and “Final Swan” are responses to the 2019 Guggenheim showing of the lifetime collection of Hilma af Klint), and through meditation in nature.
"Antiglot II offers personal snapshots of emotion driven by Walsh’s international travels [and] sees Walsh’s mere voice and body return to helm yet another utterly evocative listen."
-Wonderland
"The album balances anthemic, feel-good numbers with soothing yet soaring instrumentation. Infused equally with invigorating and cathartic sounds, Antiglot II moves smoothly through a blend of soft beats and nature sounds to paint vibrant images without a single lyric. An intricately layered body of work that encapsulates Walsh’s genre-hopping sound spanning quirky electronics and brooding indie dance... capturing emotions and experimentation in his ever-changing artistry."
-Earmilk
"A deeply expressive sonic landscape upon which the singer asks each listener to journey."
