Waltzer isn't just a band because Waltzer, in fact, is also a TV show.

Waltzer is also a character, a persona, and a songwriting collaboration unit. Waltzer is a one-woman project and even a sketch-comedy routine. Waltzer is nothing that you expect, but everything you didn't know you wanted. In short, Waltzer may be a moniker, but it contains ever-evolving multitudes.

Time Traveler is Waltzer's debut full-length album and the end result of years of work by singer-songwriter Sophie Sputnik. As a former musical theater kid who found her armor fronting Florida punk-rock two-piece Killmama for several years, her songwriting has been informed by everyone from Erykah Badu to Roy Orbison. As such, Time Traveler melds a lifetime's worth of music loving to create a sound that's a little bit rockabilly, a little bit punk, and all of it wrapped up in an undeniably contemporary style. Its sonic contours may be firmly grounded in rock and roll's sweat-drenched history, but its worldview speaks to the worried world we all are trying to survive in.

Hard-hitting indie rock artist, Molly Martin, describes herself as a “part-time cartoon, full-time wench.” Her songs are strikingly honest, pairing vulnerable lyricism with a grounded sense that nothing should be taken too seriously. Molly grew up on Motown and Classic Rock, and later developed a love for artists such as Pretenders, Courtney Barnett, Soccer Mommy, etc. Songs about feeling unworthy, facing one’s faults, and discovering what it means to be human are all on her EP, What You Need, released November 2020. Recorded with Nashville producers Collin Pastore and Jake Finch (Lucy Dacus, Boy Genius, Bre Kennedy), all four songs were captured in just a few takes each, pairing the energy of Molly’s live show with the precision and layering of the studio. With all the songs having been written solo, this is the first body of work that feels like “Molly.”
