Wells Ferrari iku brainchild saka Will Wells lan Mikey Ferrari, sing dibesarkan ing pinggiran bay ing sisih beda saka negara iki, bobbing lan nyebatake liwat berbagai bencana lan jebolan muda sadurunge diselamatake dening musik, saben ing cara dhewe. Landing ing Los Angeles ing siji titik utawa liyane, padha nyimpen kaki cowboy-booted ing mesin suara - Mikey minangka artis solo label utama, Will minangka gitar-gunslinger kanggo njaluk ing tur lan ing sesi - sadurunge njaluk yen mungkin kabeh sing glittered ora ana ing hakékaté emas. Nglawan kanggo njaluk apa-apa rasa musik utawa koneksi pribadi ing landscape sing nyebar, iku mung nalika loro ketemu ing sesi pisanan rutin kanggo artis liyane 2019 ing sing padha ngetokake dua hal: siji, sing nggawe musik iku iku mung apa sing ora duwe, lan‍

<pfseg id="0">"Itu langsung, nalika kita ketemu ing sesi iki nalika kita jamming,"Will ngandika. "Aku ngerti aku bisa hubungan karo Mikey ing cara unik, lan sawise kita ngendokake lan muter ing kali pisanan iku ndhuwur. Kita duwe koneksi iki, 'Let's just cook, let's make something and do it for fun.'

<pfseg id="0"> "Kami kedhaftar njaluk musik saka pertaruhan lan rasa singguh, lan wis tetep ngejar lagu kanggo alasan-alasan iki," tambah Mikey. "Kami wis ngajarake yen sampeyan bisa ndadekake minangka bagian saka apa-apa amarga musik, lan iku apa sawetara saka proyek iki.

Seizing on shared personal histories and enough musical influence overlapping to develop a shorthand, the pair recognized a freshness and an energy in their work, not to mention a sense of joy. The songs came quickly and were kept raw but true, with the duo insisting that one of the main strengths of the music was its sincerity. On a trip to the small town of 29 Palms, near Joshua Tree National Park, they began recording a handful of tunes, finding inspiration in the solitude, natural beauty, and vast openness of the desert while being able to lock in on the work in a place free of city distractions. Multiple return visits over several months yielded the first few batches of Wells Ferrari songs, collected in late 2024 in the form of their debut EP, Roots & Tides.

Laid out in full sun like a Nudie suit-wearing lizard on top of a bar-blues rock, the hallmark of a Wells Ferrari song will always be the twin voices. Trading verses and refrains then weaving together in moments of simple, gorgeous harmony, each singer sings his own heart out with urgency and raw emotion, yet the songs maintain a cool charm and never feel overwrought or disingenuous. “Gold Mine,” the first song the duo ever made together for the project, is filled with chipper crooning and upbeat guitar chime over a steady beat and an “I don’t even know who I am anymore” calling card, while “Powerlines” and its tales of fate, chasing demons, and falling on swords is a haunted, whiskey-fueled ride you could imagine being belted out in pitch dark on a humid summer night. Meanwhile, “Roots and Tides” is slick and catchy with its Dickey Betts slide riffs, sun-kissed tone, and musings on collision. As Will and Mikey will tell you, when it comes to Wells Ferrari, one plus one equals three. It is a shared offering, forged in heat and stillness yet infused with a kismet, kindred energy and kinetic spirit. Or whatever the hell you want to call it – they haven’t slowed down enough to care.‍

“Our music is more about inviting you into a world and less about buying into a person,” Will says. “It’s about harmony, like a collective; that, and honesty. We don’t have crazy-clean production; we go to this house in Joshua Tree and it kind of sounds like shit and we make it work. We feel like we have stuff to say, and we want people to relate to that. It has to feel natural. The music should always live in that world, and I think it does.”

"Wells Ferrari iku fusion saka pengaruh kita, nanging kanggo kita iku njaluk minangka percakapan," Mikey ngandika. "Itu ndeleng minangka dua teman sing paling apik ngobrol karo saindhenging, ing percakapan sing audiensi bisa partisipasi, uga. Kita ndeleng akeh pengalaman serupa, supaya bisa ngandika babagan hal-hal kasebut duwe konteks beda. Ngobrol karo ndhuwur sing paling apik ndeleng luwih manungsa saka dadi seorang artis solo nyoba kanggo nuduhake ing lagu. minangka artis solo, ndhuwur minangka sampeyan mung ngobrol karo audiensi; iki ndhuwur luwih berbasis komunitas amarga kita duwe percakapan sing wong nindakake, lan kabeh dadi bagian saka iku. Ngobrol karo loro, ndhuwur minangka satu suara ing harmoni, ndhuwur minangka suara makhluk manungsa. Dheweke ndhuwur luwih gedhe saka kita."
