3/26/2019 0 Comments Wallows - Nothing HappensIf you're going to listen to an album that's been released so far this year, make it this one. It proves the album isn't dead. It starts with Only Friend, and the transition into Treacherous Doctor is absolutely seamless. The tracks exist to blend together in one moment of wild realization of what's happening. The album themes are relatable and the melodic content is so smoothly digestible. Nothing Happens bounces back and forth from energy to melody in brilliant fashion. It's like if COIN took inspiration from Surf Rock. The same anthemic indie pop, but more drowning in soft reverb. The frantic, romantic antics of Remember When are stellar. The brooding mood in Are You Bored Yet? screams the sentiments felt by a generation of reluctant lovers. Do Not Wait is a world all of its own; it's the band exhibiting full creative freedom in a six and a half minute poem depicting reluctance and struggle, and they draw the listener into every second of the story. Wallows is a band that has been destined for stardom since day one. It's the dreamy nature of soft 50's music, launching into the reverb-laden surf of the 60's, cascading into 70's punk, melting into soft 80's keys, and capping it all off with modern themes and production. It's the best of all worlds. ~Fonfur
