Wallows - Model

Model is the third studio album by American indie rock band Wallows, released in May 2024 via Atlantic Records.

Wallows is an American indie rock band based in Los Angeles, composed of Dylan Minnette, Braeden Lemasters, and Cole Preston.

The opening track, “Your Apartment,” paves the way with Lemasters on guitar, holding the same rhythmic stroke for seven seconds before Preston relinquishes the drums, followed by Minnette on lead vocals.

Although optimistically upbeat, the song details the narrator’s failed attempt at creating a newly developed relationship, which seemingly ended mutually. However, throughout the three minutes he sings, Minnette persistently wonders what his used-to-be lover is up to at her apartment.

“But I promise I get your sentiment/ I wonder who’s been at your apartment/ Would you give in or would you relent who’s been trying to get in your bed?” Minnette sings in the chorus.

“Anytime, Always” is the following track, one that can genuinely be played anytime, always. Even though the repetition of these words within the chorus doesn’t set the song up for anything mind-blowingly spectacular, one can’t deny the overall effect it possibly has as another summer hit.

This album is an independent record stores exclusive edition on orchid and translucent orange split coloured vinyl housed in a gatefold sleeve with a printed inner sleeve and poster, pressed in Europe via Atlantic Records.
