After announcing their highly anticipated return on instagram, alt-rock trio Wallows has released their new single “Your Apartment.”
“We’re so excited and eager to be releasing music for the first time in nearly two years,” the band shared. “It’s the longest we’ve been silent and it feels good to finally be back. This is the first song from our new album that fully came together lyrically quite some time ago now, so it feels right that it gets heard first.”
Co-written by Wallows and Nate Mercereau (Andre 3000, Shawn Mendes), and produced by previous Wallows collaborator John Congleton (St. Vincent, Sharon Van Etten), the single invites listeners into an intimate struggle between moving on and making amends.
“Empathetic to you and your healing, Ask a friend if you still don’t believe me, I’ve got stitches that I’m sewing up too, So it isn’t fair to say, “I love you,”” lead vocalist Dylan Minnette sings over a frenetic beat.
The music video directed by Nina Ljeti illustrates that misery under moody lighting and through camera movement. The short film opens on a closeup of Minnette as he laments into the camera. As the camera slowly pulls back, the audience sees a simple studio setup with Braeden Lemasters (bass) and Cole Preston (drums) joining Minnette on either side.
In addition to this return, Wallows is also celebrating a monumental achievement as their hit single “Are You Bored Yet? (Feat. Clairo)” recently achieved triple Platinum certification in the United States.
