The release of Wallows' new EP "More" this Friday has brought fans seven tracks filled with emotional depth and dynamic sounds. The opening track, titled "Not Alone," captivates listeners with its synth-driven beats. This song features a dual vocal performance, with Braeden Lemasters leading the first half and Dylan Minnette taking over for the latter part. The lyrics delve into themes of sleepless nights and reflections on past relationships, using vivid metaphors such as sheep to symbolize restlessness. These imaginative lines highlight how thoughts can wander late at night, creating an evocative atmosphere that resonates deeply.

Another standout piece from the EP is the reimagined version of "Deep Dive." Unlike many artists who often disappoint with alternate takes, Wallows succeeds in crafting a fresh experience. The original starts off slow, gradually building intensity as Minnette shifts his vocal notes by the third verse, adding richness to the melody. In contrast, "Deep Dive – Reprise" kicks off with an engaging rhythm that carries through the entire track. An intriguing echo effect enhances Minnette's voice during the bridge, making the chorus particularly memorable. While this rendition omits the third verse, its quicker tempo transforms it into a lively, upbeat number. Additionally, "Your New Favorite Song" showcases the band’s versatility by blending jazz-inspired horns into its composition, inviting repeated listens despite its playful title.

Among the tracks, "Hide It Away" stands out as a personal favorite due to its relatable lyrics about concealing emotions—a sentiment many listeners may find familiar. The drumming prowess of Cole Preston adds energy to the piece, while the complementary guitar rhythms enhance its overall appeal. Although initially anticipating a full-length album, fans were left yearning for more upon discovering the project contained only seven songs. This desire for additional content underscores the impact Wallows continues to have on their audience, proving that even brief releases can leave lasting impressions. Music has the power to connect people through shared experiences, and Wallows excels at crafting tunes that resonate universally.
