<p>40 Watt Sun is a project led by singer, guitarist, and songwriter Patrick Walker. Known for his previous band, Warning, Walker brings his signature down-tempo rhythms and strong melodies to 40 Watt Sun's music. With introspective lyrical themes and poignant vocals, their debut album "The Inside Room" showcases similarities to Warning's unique style of Doom Metal. However, their second album "Wider Than the Sky" takes a departure from Doom Metal grounds.</p>

Originally released in March 2011 by Cyclone Empire in Europe and Metal Blade in North America, and then limited to only one vintl pressing, The Inside Room has been long out of print. Upon release, the album was greeted with widespread critical acclaim and was embraced by fans of Patrick Walker’s previous band Warning. Whilst the music on The Inside Room was a noticeable development from the heavy doom of Warning’s Watching from a Distance, there is a recognizable thread connecting the two sonically. The Inside Room features some of what have become the most well-known and requested songs in Patrick’s back catalogue, such as Restless and Carry Me Home. The cover art for the album is by Matt Mahurin (Tom Waits, Tracy Chapman, The Ramones) who also created the iconic art for Watching from a Distance. Recorded and produced by the band at The Library Studio in London in little over 24 hours in October 2010, The Inside Room was mixed and mastered by bass player, William Spong. The original vinyl edition featured an exclusive bonus track titled Take Me In, which was not included on any previous CD versions of the album; both the CD and vinyl editions of this 2023 reissue will feature the track.
