Told Slant

Told Slant is the primary musical vehicle for Brooklyn-based artist Felix Walworth, a central figure in the influential 'Epoch' collective (which included Florist, Bellows, and Gabby's World). The project is defined by a 'low-fi' aesthetic that leans more toward skeletal folk and slowcore than traditional garage rock.

Walworth's sound identity is built on a foundation of 'clean' electric guitar tones and a highly idiosyncratic drumming style that emphasizes toms and unconventional phrasing. Culturally, Told Slant occupies a vital space in the 2010s DIY scene, particularly within queer and trans musical communities, where Walworth's vulnerable exploration of identity and interpersonal dynamics resonated deeply. Critical consensus highlights Walworth's ability to transform 'simple' arrangements into high-stakes emotional dramas. Their career arc shows a steady refinement of this intimacy, moving from the more abrasive edges of 'Still Water' to the polished but still deeply personal 'Point the Flashlight and Walk'. The project is often cited alongside artists like Elvis Depressedly and Frankie Cosmos as a cornerstone of the modern bedroom-pop-to-indie-rock pipeline.
