Wallows – Spring EP

Review

Wallows burst onto the scene with their debut "Spring EP," a six-track collection that perfectly captures the California trio's knack for blending surf-rock vibes with indie pop sensibilities. The record kicks off with "Ground," setting a mellow, easygoing tone that lets you sink right into their world of sun-soaked melodies. But don't get too comfortable – tracks like "It's Only Right" shake things up with dynamic tempo changes and surf-rock influences that show these guys aren't afraid to experiment with their sound.

What makes "Spring" so compelling is how effortlessly it shifts between moods without losing its cohesive feel. "Pictures of Girls" brings the catchy, upbeat energy that helped put Wallows on the map, proving they can write hooks that stick without sacrificing their artistic integrity. The EP strikes that sweet spot between nostalgic warmth and fresh indie rock energy, creating something that feels both familiar and exciting. It's a debut that announces Wallows as a band worth watching, with enough creative range to keep you guessing what comes next. - Izzy
