New Hallelujah The Hills - "Let It Wave"

When P4K reviewed Hallelujah The Hills' debut Collective Psychosis Begone, they called out the Boston quartet's "bookish" ways and cited their "knack for crafting fist-pumping anthems." It's the bookish end of things we're hearing on this stellar, non-album cut from HtH, singer Ryan Walsh delivering a positively Bright Eyed turn on the slow rolling "Let It Wave." "His tooth, and the truth came out / One in the paper and the other inside of his mouth," so the story goes, shifting into a brassy, chanted apex. "It's better than being alone"...

For the uninitiated, take an album track with you:
