Sounds Like"Finally, a male singer-songwriter that we actually enjoy!..Hushed and haunting"- The Guardian

"Dazzlingly Beautiful, Fragile And Mesmeric " - Clash Magazine

"One of the most gifted singers and songwriters of his generation." - Far East Far Out

"If we had to describe ‘Brittle Bones’ in a single word it would probably be weightless. Or perhaps simply faultless. It is awash with a yearning, dreamlike sadness, so ephemeral that you worry if you press eject on the stereo the CD will simply dissipate to dust. Richard’s slight, limpid voice is a genuine wonder....a voice with the ability to make your heart stop in simple wonder." - Nightshift Magazine

"..he's re-inventing a tired subject and making it sound exciting again...the future holds a lot of promise for Richard Walters." - Drownedinsound

"Walter’s songs are vulnerable and very human...give him time and Richard Walters could be a really wonderful and affecting artist." - Disorder Magazine

"Walter's songs are haunting, they have the ability to lift you in some parts and in others to send a chill down your spine. There's no doubting this talent and it's one that is surely destined for much greater things." - initforthemoney Zine

"The most haunting balladry you'll hear outside of Jeff Buckley or Anthony and the Johnsons." - Roomthirteen

"Blown away... Speaking of love and comfort, tenderness and sadness, this is a ball of emotion pitched straight at the heart" - Decode Magazine

"Haunting, delicate songs...Ethereal and ghostly, these are lullabies for the disturbed – comforting yet strangely unsettling in their broken, broken beauty" - Backlash Magazine

"..somehow manages to be both arresting and good enough to feel like you can float away to it." - dieshellsuit.co.uk

   About Richard Walters
Nobody likes to write about themselves, and I'm no exception.
But no one wants to read an impersonal musical resume jotted down to fill in the blanks. So let me say this.
Music is my bookends, it keeps me tight, together and tidy. I have the ups and downs, and don't we all, but I've reached a point in my life where I've realized its better to be at sea than on dry flat land. Thats where all the songs are swimming.
I'm indebted to words, always have been and forever will be. I've got unfinished books leveling out my furniture, don't we all.
And when I go to sleep I sometimes dream about swimming in the estuary near my parents house; sometimes I dream about my cat, Martha, singing like Stina Nordenstam; other times I just dream about giant shoes. But I'll try to write about all those things and everything else I (actually) get to see and do in-between.
I want to go to America, buy a three piece suit, some boots and a trilby hat from Goodwill and tour Dairy Queens.

Part 2

I moved to somewhere new at the tail of last year...Paris - fear not, there is no bathtub.
I have found comfort and possibility in the tall buildings, winding river and never-ending sirens...I am settled in with my old pet, Uncertainty, in a brand new town, and we have re-homed the strays, FOCUS and WISHFUL THINKING. One purrs, the other just eyes me.
Sadly, my Martha cat went to the Russian Blue sea, so she doesn't sing to me anymore and I miss her small efforts very much indeed.
The future seems to be taking forever to get here...but this record, the one that took years to make, well at least thats done now. I hope you'll want to listen in (glass against the wall)....

You may have seen Richard Walters singing his little pulsing heart out on tour with Dave Matthews, Grant Lee Phillips, Imogen Heap, Gemma Hayes or Supergrass.
Or maybe you heard 'All at sea' being played on an episode of CSI: Miami...or 'Brittle bones' soundtracking some love in Phillip Pullman's 'The Butterfly tattoo' film...
