Over the last year, we have experienced WOTTS go from strength to strength, consistently releasing emotive, thought-provoking compositions, so when we heard that the talented pair were back with ALLO!, we were curious to say the least.
Teasing us with textured percussion and an astral melody, WOTTS open ALLO! with a vintage and immersive feel, as they share charismatic vocals, with playful lyrics, and super catchy hooks.
The production is divine, with an evocative high synth, super expansive and harmonised vocals, leading us to an exceptionally performed guitar solo before a subversive breakdown bringing us back to the main body of the track.
The high octane energy is contagious and we can imagine this would be incredible to experience live or on the dance floor, especially with the compressed bridges, leaving us feeling transcendental. Another epic guitar solo leads us through to the end of the track and leaves us yearning for more with the songs atmospheric conclusion.
We learn that ALLO! is the first track off from the pair’s upcoming EP, PETALS. Once again, the creators cite Pond and Djo, as influences and tell us that the song is “about falling in love, while the EP itself tells a story of unrequited love.”
Jayem elaborates, “There’s something so beautiful that happens when you first fall in love. We really wanted to capture those initial moments, where even being in the same room as the person can leave you feeling like a giant goofball”.
With reference to the upcoming EP, Ricky adds, “PETALS really is a three act story about falling in love with someone that doesn’t feel the same way. We’ve probably all been through something like that, so hoping people can relate to it a little.”
We always love what WOTTS have to offer, and naturally, we have added ALLO! to our New Music Spotlight playlist, as well as our brand new TRIPPY playlist, whilst we anticipate PETALS and continue to stream the creators’ wider discography!
