Wallysburg is the name of a four-piece based out of Tampa, Florida. More importantly, the band released Joyharbour in late September of 2018. The five-track EP contains a number of peaks and valleys for the listener to explore with a dreamy electronic tint that creates the feeling of being wide awake while also feeling deeply relaxed. A strange pinnacle of awareness and endless exploration, the never ending feeling of reverb and the addictive dance beats will carry listeners on a journey through their headphones.
The opening track “The New Year” sounds like a lost Foster the People track. Not that it could be called a rip-off, the immediate familiarity created by adapting the sound into the vision of Wallysburg creates a rapport with listeners that makes the rest of the album feel like hanging out with an old friend. Even as the sound evolves into new territories that have not been mainstreamed into the conscious of the listener, the trust gained through this track sets the rest of Joyharbour up to be greeted with open arms. “Waiting For The Moment” is a track that is unlistenable while sitting still. The addictive grooves of the bass are complemented by snappy drum work that turns the track into a dance anthem for all occasions. As the album draws to a close, the deliberate picking of the guitar through the intro of “Headlights Hanging Overhead” carries the track with purpose and poise. A brilliant world of dance tunes, introspective electronic tracks, beat driven indie pop and some moments that are a cross pollination of it all are waiting for listeners in the five tracks that make up Joyharbour. It’s an appropriate name for the album. A place one can pull into for a quick stay in the dreamy world that Wallysburg creates with the EP. A world filled with wondrous views, delicious riffs, sweet serenades and a breathtaking sunset. Fans looking for an album to sit back and truly immerse themselves in will quench their thirst with Joyharbour.
