Los Angeles-based trio Wallows consists of Dylan Minnette, Braeden Lemasters and Cole Preston. Since their 2019 debut album Nothing Happens, they put out the Remote EP in 2020. The Deluxe Edition of this EP counted 11 tracks, just like their first long-player.

I Don’t Want To Talk is the band’s brand-new single. It’s a poppy, upbeat track with melancholy lyrics, a road they’ve walked before. As a consequence, the song falls between an infectious indie bop and a heartbreak anthem. The tune’s fast drumbeat introduction transitions right into a catchy flute that keeps coming back throughout the song. Other ear-catching elements are thick guitar hooks and a prominent harmonica.

“I Don’t Want to Talk is ultimately a song about insecurities,” Dylan Minnette said in a statement. “Not only in yourself, but in this case, particularly in a relationship. It centers around the fear of being away from someone for too long and that ultimately allowing the other person’s head to be turned by someone else, and instead of expressing those fears, completely shutting down and not wanting to talk about it at all.”

This week, I Don’t Want To Talk by Wallows is the Carte Blanche Music Wildcard! It’ll be featured here prominently for a full seven days.
