Wallows are an indie band from Los Angeles, comprised of Dylan Minnette, Braeden Lemasters and Cole Preston. A year after their debut album Nothing Happens, they drop a brand-new single: OK. It adds a fresh edge to their fuzzy, alt-rock sound. However, the fact it sounds more poppy than the band’s earlier output, is counterbalanced with elements like a heavily-distorted bridge.

“OK is a song about insecurities in a relationship,” they explain, “having a hard time accepting something that feels ‘too good to be true’, but overall learning to embrace it and accept the love you’re receiving and focusing on returning it. Now, given the state of the world and the health crisis we happen to be in at the time of the song’s release, we feel like the main line/hook of the song, ‘Can we get up and try to feel okay again?’, sort of takes on a new meaning/purpose itself for people at this moment in time.”
