It is beyond crazy to think that it was largely stitched together in isolation, even the vocals being recorded on iPhone notes and passed around the band. Despite all that, it feels almost effortless for Wallows at this point (though it plainly wasn’t).

Wallows aren’t out to re-write the history books of indie, but they’re clearly getting a kicks from exploring and pushing the genre into new ground. It’s an EP that offers up both clarity and consistency, serving as yet another reminder that lockdown wasn’t lost on everyone.

The third EP by Los Angeles' Wallows, 2020's Remote finds the indie rock outfit further expanding their quirky, highly inventive sound. The set follows their full-length debut, 2019's Nothing Happens, and again features the trio's distinctive, kinetic arrangements and hooky, lyrical choruses.

i got nothing to say about this but dylan minnette please call me bro i think we would be very good bros together
Wallows is a band that drinks from the same source that most indie rock bands drink today, which is the grunge aesthetic of the 90s, both in terms of sound and visually.

How it feels to chew 5 Gum. I actually have no idea what to rate this, so this is gonna be more of a placeholder until I figure out wtf I just listened to. I think I liked most of it? it's hard to tell, this thing is the musical equivalent of 3 pouches of Crystal Pop Rocks and 24 hours of repeat-viewing the critically acclaimed masterpiece film Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over. I'm pretty sure the 2nd half wasn't as good as the first, and that tracks 3 and 6 are bangers tho.
It’s fine. This album has a sort of qwerk to it that I’ve never really fell in love with, very awkward project that feels kinda funny to listen to sometimes. But it’s pretty ok for what it is, I like dig and nobody lots! But the other songs I’ve always thought are just ok. It’s definitely their weakest effort, but it’s not even that horrible of a statement, because remote is good. It’s just ok lol at least it isn’t insufferable slop.
