Bristol O2 Academy, 15th January 2023
Wallows have announced their highly anticipated sophomore album, Tell Me That It’s Over, and release new single Especially You, with an accompanying music video directed by Jason Lester.Â
Tell Me That It’s Over, out March 25th, was produced by the multi-GRAMMY Award winning Ariel Rechtshaid (Vampire Weekend, Haim, Adele) and contains 10 tracks informed by everything from lo-fi post-punk to indie-folk to early-’90s dance-pop psychedelia.
On the meaning behind album single “Especially You” Dylan Minnette says, “It’s about when you’re in the early stages of a relationship and you get so worried that the other person’s mind will change at the flip of a switch. It’s about stressing over the smallest things for no reason, but it’s definitely self-aware about the fact that I’m doing this all to myself.’
TMTIO is a thrilling continuation of the sonic exploration first begun on Wallows’ 2019 album Nothing Happens- one of the highest streamed debuts from any band that year, featuring their platinum-selling single “‘Are You Bored Yet?’ (feat. Clairo). Following their critically acclaimed 2020 EP ‘Remote’, the band released the first taste of music from their upcoming album with I Don’t Want to Talk’ in September 2021.
TMTIO will be available in several physical formats, as well as digital: white vinyl available exclusively at wallowsmusic.store, a yellow cassette, CD, CD box set with exclusive t-shirt, Urban Outfitters exclusive light blue vinyl, Amazon exclusive orange vinyl, and yellow vinyl available for online pre-order. A limited amount of signed yellow vinyl is also available at wallowsmusic.store (while supplies last).
In September, Wallows announced the first part or their 2022 Tell Me That It’s Over tour which began in Seattle on April 2022. the band is also pleased to announce a UK. Europe. Australia & New Zealand tour.
