Imperial Motors Wallys music is informed as much by rock and pop as by classical, choral, jazz, bossa nova, and folk as eclectic as the friendships that define it. Wally got its start in 2014. Born and raised in New Haven, Connecticut, brothers Teo and Lucas Hernandez, and lifelong friend Alex Blair have been singing, writing and recording music together since childhood. New Yorkers and drummers Alex Yoo and Kabir Adhiya-Kumars syncopated joy drives Wallys dream pop. Bassist Samantha Reiss drives the music with her unique sense of melody and lyricism. Miles Keingstein and Declan Sheehy-Moss form a wild and versatile horn section. The groups combination of effortless harmonies, ethereal arrangements, and timeless songwriting is reminiscent of Stereolab, The Beach Boys, Cocteau Twins, and MGMT.
