Seattle-born, Los Angeles-based guitarist and composer Max Walker has announced the release of his highly anticipated second album, Chronostasis, arriving May 2nd through Orenda Records. Brimming with intricate guitar playing, and a strong sense of rhythm and composition, on Chronostasis Walker wears his jazz and rock influences on his sleeve, as well as being influenced by guitar pioneers like Allan Holdsworth, Tim Miller, and Ben Monder. An album “about the transient moments between two major chapters in one’s life”, Chronostasis reflects his move to LA.

To bring the album to life, he enlisted the help of drummer Remy Morritt, bassist Tim Carey, saxophonist and flutist Rex Gregory, and pianist Matt Williams.

Heralding the release of Chronostasis, Walker has shared the album’s first single, the absorbing, atmospheric and brilliant ‘Petrichor’. Take a listen now.
