Walter Benjamin is a modern songwriter, just like the Modern Rock Song by Belle & Sebastian. He uses samplers and synthesizers on his songs, along with a cheap acoustic guitar and a cheap sounding voice. Walter Benjamin was born in the spring, although he doesn't remember where. After releasing the EP The Dog follows the Bull (Merzbau, 2007), he spent a whole year recording his first album, The National Crisis. The record contains twelve new songs written on the way home after disco.
He is a member of the Lisbon based folk collective Goodbye Toulouse and the "almost rock" band Jesus, the Misunderstood.
