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 mangrupakeun fusion tina pangaruh urang, tapi pikeun urang éta tingal salaku percakapan," Mikey nyebutkeun. "Ieu tingal kawas dua sahabat pangalusna ngobrol jeung aranjeunna, dina percakapan anu audiensi bisa partisipasi, ogé. Urang ngagaduhan loba pangalaman anu sarua, jadi bisa nulis ngeunaan hal-hal ieu boga konteks anu béda. Ngobrol jeung teman pangalusna anjeun ngarasa jauh leuwih manusa ti jadi hiji artis solo anu nyoba nembongkeun eta dina lagu. Salaku artis solo, aya rasa kawas anjeun ngan ngobrol jeung audiensi; ieu ngarasa jauh leuwih komunitas-diri sabab urang boga percakapan nu jalma anu nempo, jeung sakabéh nu bagian tina eta. nyanyi bersama, tingal salaku hiji suara di harmoni, tingal salaku suara jalma manusa. Ieu ngan ngarasa leuwih badag ti unggal urang."
