The Fly, August 2009 issue.

This review of Waler appeared in this month's issue of The Fly music magazine, and very flattering it is too! You can judge for yourself whether or not they got it right:

BAND TO DIG WALER Intelli-hop duo Waler got the funk. Seamlessly moulding Flaming Lips artistry with Talking Heads groove, this two-piece found on fledgling indie, Padre Records, drip sweet soul out of every pore. 'Muzzle Mouth' oozes sunshine behind lyrics of; "I testify with an open mind/If you open yours then I'll open mine," - kinda like King's Heath's answer to De La Soul.
