Listen: Wardell – Call It What You Want

It’s hard to believe that siblings, Sasha and Theo, aka Wardell, dropped their debut track ‘Opossum‘ over two years ago now.

As great as it is, we feel like they’ve left us craving another installment of breezy Beach House-on-a-sugar-rush pop for far too long. We weren’t about to give up on the LA duo but few could deny that ‘Call It What You Want’ has come at the perfect time.

A magical little ditty which finds Sasha sucking in the haziest West Coast fumes straight out of Beth Cosetino’s lungs while Theo explores Girls’ penchant for sprawled-out guitar filigrees. Huddled together under an umbrella of glistening harmonies, calypso organs and surfy percussive patterns; it’s comforting to hear the duo – like fellow LA fam-band Haim - sounding so completely in sync with one another.

You can hide in the shade this summer but you still won’t escape a baking from Wardell’s feel-good rays.

‘Call It What You Want’ will feature on The Brother/Sister EP. Out 3 June via National Anthem.
