Wait RSD 2023 edition

In short order, the young Nashville band has risen from humble beginnings playing the Nashville house party scene and DIY art gatherings to performing at festivals like Bonnaroo and Forecastle and sharing bills with the likes of Rostam and Cold War Kids.

With Wait, Arlie make good on the potential exhibited on their early singles. Lead single barcelona boots is a swirl of washed-out synths and Banks yearning falsetto, while too long is a sighing ballad underpinned with psychedelic atmospherics. On the EP's closer -- the tropical, hazy tossing and turning -- Arlie turns a self-deprecating eye on a superficial generation so fixated on projecting a lifestyle that they miss out on living the actual life.
