Not too long ago I talked to Justin from Walter Meego for my column, and pretty much every answer he gave to the questions I asked about the band's relocation from Chicago to LA included a reference to the pool they now have in their backyard, how kick-ass it is to have your own pool, and how many pool parties they were planning on having in their own personal pool. I just saw on Bigstereo that WM has a new video for their summerweight disco-pop jam "Forever," and unsurprisingly, poolside partying plays a major part in it. 

I gotta say, it really does look like the pool party is those dudes' natural habitat.

Word just came out today that local synthesizer enthusiasts Walter Meego will be releasing their first full-length album through Almost Gold Recordings, home to Peter Bjorn and John. The record, which may or may not be called Voyager, won't be out until late 2007 or early 2008, but if you beep over to their MySpace page you can peep some pretty-finished sounding electro-pop demos. I've got a few more new tracks in my iTunes, and based on those, I'd say the record has potential. The beats are a little bouncier and clubbier than they were on the Romantic EP and the duo toys with a range of danceable influences—a little disco, more than a little Daft Punk, and maybe a smidge of Ed Banger—but they've also got the vocal thing going on, so the songs probably won't be confined to DJ sets. With the right coverage in NME I bet Walter Meego could take over England. In the meantime, I'm sure you'll be able to hear more new songs when they play the Bottle on July 27th.
