Unveiled ahead of the record’s drop on July 10th, ‘Tunnels’ offers a deeper look into Wolfhard’s growth as a songwriter and musician.
Whilst still leaning into his known melodic indie sound, the track gives a glimpse into how Wolfhard’s musical persona has developed. Built around emotional topics of memories and personal growth, the track demonstrates his ability to write lyrics based on everyday experiences and turn them into musical storytelling. The tone and energy surrounding the song, with such personal moments mentioned throughout, creates an intimate vibe which really emphasises what Wolfhard is trying to portray in his music. It comes across warm and authentic, making the single feel more genuine.
Following the success of his debut album ‘Happy Birthday’, which established him as a credible force in the indie rock genre, ‘Tunnels’ represents his musical and artistic evolution. It’s a thoughtful and engaging release that balances nostalgia and current life events, and presents an incredible preview of what’s coming with the new album. With such effective storytelling and such a knack for crafting real, well-thought-out music, it makes Wolfhard’s upcoming record one worth waiting for.
