” (‘Wishbones’, the upcoming Walking Spanish Album) Is a versatile blend of well-structured songs, combining country, rock ‘n’ roll, and pop, littered with subtly haunting, poetic verse.”

“…searing high-energy indie rock, fronted by virtuosic Alex Nelson..” “Wishbones” is the kind of album that you can listen to from start to finish, on repeat, and I’ve been doing just that. The songs are fully developed. The solos and interludes are searing but restrained, integral to the songs. It’s all about the songs on this record.”
