All sorts of excited to see this in my inbox this week… new Wallice!!!! The LA-based musician is one of my favourite discoveries of recent years – a little bit in love with last year’s Off The Rails EP. Brilliant news, then, that she’s signed to Dirty Hit and is releasing her second EP this Spring. As a taster of the EP, Little League hits the spot perfectly. In fact, Wallice never misses.
On the track, Wallice shares: “Little League is about my love of games (board and video) and my competitiveness. I also think people can relate to the fear of not being liked. I can hang out with a single friend for 5 days straight, and still each time they leave I feel like – “oh no, they probably hate me because of something silly like being too competitive during a video game. This song was influenced by “Weird Fishes/Arpeggi” by Radiohead, a band I grew up listening to.”
The video sees Wallice and her producer marinelli starring alongside fellow LA musicians spill tab, Mykey and mazie, as they play Mario Party esque mini-games within a board game. Wallice explains: “I immediately reached out to director Philip Stilwell when I came up with a concept for this video. He did such an amazing job when we had previously worked on my ‘Hey Michael’ video last year. I knew he could execute the right balance of serious and funny within a short video.”
