Knock knock, who's there? It’s Wallows, with their latest single “Your Apartment” —their first release in nearly two years

Words by Matt Keenan

Goodness how I’ve missed Wallows. A return from the favorite multi-platinum, alt-rock trio just feels refreshing to me, returning to music for the first time in nearly two years with their new single “Your Apartment.” Since the band’s release of their sophomore LP, Tell Me That It’s Over, they have come back into the spotlight swinging, with the monumental achievement of their hit single "Are You Bored Yet? (Feat. Clairo)" recently achieving Triple-Platinum certification in the United States.

“Your Apartment” offers Wallows at some of their finest, with a driving rhythm section coupled with shimmering synth and guitar layers as well as breathy introspective vocals. The single feels like it comes out of a movie, and an addition you would want in the soundtrack of your life. To me, “Your Apartment” demonstrates a continuance of Wallows’ ability to consistently redefine and refresh a genre which can sometimes bore, and impress (hopefully) themselves as well as those listening. 

On the track's release the band says, “We’re so excited and eager to be releasing music for the first time in nearly two years. It’s the longest we’ve been silent and it feels good to finally be back. This is the first song from our new album that fully came together lyrically quite some time ago now, so it feels right that it gets heard first.”
