From PandoraoceanbluPatrick Walker formed Warning in Essex in 1994, and between their records he made music as 40 Watt Sun. Twenty years after Watching from a Distance he started again from nothing, finishing the lyrics in a house outside Florence and recording in a former church in Southport. Doom usually reaches for the cosmic or the occult, but Walker writes about people, which is exactly why it lands so hard.
