Wallows announce album 'Tell Me That It’s Over' and share single 'Especially You'

Wallows have announced details of their sophomore album ‘Tell Me That It’s Over’ and released a video for its upbeat track, ‘Especially You’. Check it out below.

Produced by Ariel Rechtshaid ‘Tell Me That It’s Over’ arrives on March 25 via Atlantic Records and will be the follow-up to the Los Angeles trio’s 2019 debut album, ‘Nothing Happens’. The album is available for pre-order here.

‘Especially You’ is the second taste of the band’s new album, which promises 10 tracks of everything from lo-fi post-punk to indie-folk and early-’90s dance-pop psychedelia. Wallows shared the album’s first single, ‘I Don’t Want To Talk’ in September of last year.

The music video features bandmates Dylan Minnette, Braeden Lemasters, and Cole Preston hanging out on a set, and culminates with the band performing.

“It’s about when you’re in the early stages of a relationship and you get so worried that the other person’s mind will change at the flip of a switch,” said Minette in a statement about the track. “It’s about stressing over the smallest things for no reason, but it’s definitely self-aware about the fact that I’m doing this all to myself.”

Check out the tracklisting and album artwork for ‘Tell Me That It’s Over’ below.
