Wallows on Boy Band Tributes, T-Rex Rockers, & Covering B-sides From The Strokes

Wallows joins Kyle Meredith to discuss their third LP, Model , which they describe as their "most freeing album" yet. Dylan Minnette, Braeden Lemasters, and Cole Preston take us through how this collection feels like a reaction to 2022’s Tell Me That It’s Over , recording with John Congleton, and the lyrical themes of heartbreak and infatuation that weave throughout.

The L.A. trio also reveal a bit about the amount of songs left off the record, including a few they consider some of their best, fated to find their way out sometime in the future. They reminisce about covering b-sides from The Strokes in their earlier iteration and share how "Bad Dream" started as an homage to boy bands like N*Sync before evolving into a T-Rex style rocker during the previous album’s sessions.
