Walt Disco unveil vulnerable new single 'Jocelyn', announces headline tour
It explores the complexities of childhood, identity, and the parent-child bond, particularly when navigating self-discovery and acceptance.

Glasgow's Walt Disco are baring their souls with their new single, 'Jocelyn'. The introspective track is the third offering from their upcoming sophomore album, 'The Warping', due out June 14th.
'Jocelyn' takes the form of a dreamlike conversation between co-songwriter and vocalist Jocelyn Si and their mother. It explores the complexities of childhood, identity, and the parent-child bond, particularly when navigating self-discovery and acceptance.
“Jocelyn” digs into the isolation of hiding a part of yourself and the euphoria of allowing it to shine through," Si explains. "The track, says its namesake, is “about recognising the version of yourself that you love. And it's not always easy to have that be the one that faces the world.
"Lyrically it’s a dreamlike internal conversation between my mother and I, from small talk to mannerisms I’ve had since childhood," they continue. "Such conversations come to mind when you change your name and gender; but it doesn't erase these memories. I hope to live in a world where parents can allow themselves to understand the upset they may feel when a child makes this decision but can love and support them all the same."
The band adds to the sentiment: “Everyone has a side of themselves that at some point, or maybe always, they feel they need to keep hidden away. This track explores the isolation of hiding a part of yourself and the euphoria of the times when you can let it out. The despairing lyrical matter of the verses opens into the joyous choruses, it’s meant to feel transformative to represent the idea of leaving your shame in the past and finding the strength to start anew.”
The release of 'Jocelyn' coincides with the announcement of Walt Disco's November headline tour across the UK and Europe.
