FOLK-POP QUINTET WIRES IN THE WALLS
RELEASE BRAND NEW MUSIC VIDEO
“Each of the four songs on Wires in the Walls’ new EP Leap, Timber, Leapis a mini-epic, a snippet of musical cinema that, in between the twinkling guitars, serene melodies and lustrous production, conveys the timeless tug-of-war between melancholy and hope.”- Kevin Bronson, Buzzbands LA
Los Angeles-based folk-pop quintet Wires in the Walls debut a brand new music video for "In the Rain," off their recently released EP Leap, Timber, Leap. Simple, and yet visually compelling, the video focuses on lead vocalist Warren Sroka's face against a hypnotic background of swirling shapes in a vibrant red and black pattern.
Warren Sroka grew up in New York City, the birthplace of the underground punk and new wave scenes, but his musical center has always been the often quiet, introspective work of storytellers like Gram Parsons and Neil Young. While pursuing a career in film, Sroka began writing the material that laid the groundwork for his musical identity and for Wires in the Walls' post-Americana sound. In these early compositions, Sroka drew from his experience as a film-maker and screenwriter to tell compelling, emotionally driven stories with stripped down, classic acoustic arrangements and lyrical themes reminiscent of the folk music that had been his life-long love. Songs such as "Big Bad Love," "Twin Jet Engines," and "Eulogy" trace these folk roots from Wires in the Walls' first recordings through their most recent.
Sroka relocated to Los Angeles, dreaming of putting together a full band of like-minded souls to think, write, and perform as a group. He found the second permanent member of Wires in the Walls in Bryan King. King was a transplant from the Virginia/DC scene that birthed acts like Fugazi and The Dismemberment Plan. King's style, derived from the punk and southern rock bands of his past and the driving sound of modern acts like Interpol and The National, complimented Sroka's folk songwriting and introduced a broader soundscape.
After Sroka and King recorded two EPs, Wires in the Walls(2008) and Call Signs(2010), David Irelan and David Sicher rounded out the group. Irelan moved to Los Angeles after completing a program in jazz performance at a NY music conservatory. Coming from his immersion in the academic study of music and composition, Irelan connected with Sroka's focus on emotion and lyricism. His virtuosic playing and keen ear for harmonic texture bring a shimmering post-rock (Band of Horses, Explosions in the Sky) character to the band's new compositions.
Sicher, a long time collaborator of King's, is a self-taught musician with a background in percussion. His experimental musicianship developed into experience with a variety of string, key, and electronic instruments. In sessions from April 2010 to January 2011, the four members collaborated on the songs that would become the band's debut full-length release New Symmetry(2011). In 2012, the band finalized its lineup with the addition of bassist Denton Biety. Biety's playing combines melodic lines with grit and energy reminiscent of The Pixies, Pavement, and Dinosaur Jr.
Wires in the Walls' combination of emotional, mature songwriting and exceptional musicianship stands out with a rare and earnest voice in a crowded industry. Their EP, Leap, Timber, Leap is available now.
This is a perfect song for laying back and relaxing to on a busy weekday afternoon.
