Wallows - Model

There's something undeniable about Wallows. Across two studio albums and a whole raft of tracks, they've grown from beloved online darlings to a band who have quietly taken over the planet with their sun-kissed tales of modern life and love. 'Model' comes at a turning point where the trio could go absolutely anywhere, and the result is an album that's everything that makes Wallows so immediate and a stunning, natural evolution into their next chapter.

It beats through the hooks of 'Your Apartment' and 'Calling After Me', but it's in the twists and turns where 'Model' marks itself as essential. 'She's An Actress' is wide-eyed panoramic living written out in Radiohead shuffles, and the hypnotic 'A Warning' finds Wallows in pure swagger-soaked confidence. Where 'Tell Me When It's Over' stretched its legs in sun-kissed directions, 'Model' flourishes in a newfound level of maturity. 'Only Ecstasy' boldly shows their ambition, and it comes to define an album that smashes the mark with laser precision.

Finding pure release in the indescribable moments, 'Model' is guaranteed to continue to reward on each and every listen.
