Remote is the third extended play (EP) by American band Wallows. It was released on October 23, 2020, through Atlantic Records.[1][2] A deluxe version was released on February 19, 2021.

Background

Written and recorded during the COVID-19 lockdowns, the band collaborated virtually through the entirety of the album's creation process:[3]

Remote is a special project for us. We finished it all without seeing each other in person by sending each other voice memos and spending hours chatting on FaceTime. Though the lyrics don't reflect on or reference our time staying at home, the music wouldn't have turned out the way it did if not for quarantine.

Promotion

On September 9, 2020, Wallows released the EP's first single "Nobody Gets Me (Like You)".[4] On October 2, 2020, the EP's second single "Virtual Aerobics" was released.[5] A music video was released alongside each single the same day. On October 28, 2020, an animated music video for "Wish Me Luck" was released.[6] On February 15, 2021, "Quarterback" was released as the third single and first off the deluxe edition of Remote.[7]
