Wells Ferrari Releases Sophomore EP Wasted Time Via Atlantic Records
Introspective indie-folk duo Wells Ferrari have released their sophomore EP Wasted Time via Atlantic Records HERE. The seven-track collection weaves heartfelt storytelling with raw acoustic soul and a modern Americana edge. With roots steeped in the songcraft tradition of bands like The Eagles, The Allman Brothers Band, and The Head and The Heart, Wells Ferrari’s music simultaneously feels nostalgic and contemporary as their voices blend in undeniable harmonic bliss that’s strikingly personal to their artistic DNA.
Built on a close creative bond between best friends and singer-songwriters Will Wells and Mikey Ferrari, Wasted Time captures the intimate, soul-baring essence of their sound. With soaring harmonies, delicate guitar work, and lyrics that tug at the heart, the EP is a conversation in song form. Exploring themes of love, loss, fear, and hope, the duo broadens their sonic palette while staying grounded in deeply personal songwriting, resulting in a collection of songs that will resonate around a campfire or in an arena.
“‘Wasted Time is the continuation of our story and is defined by our experiences together,” said Wells Ferrari. “We’ve always wanted to build community with our music and write songs that help people feel seen because we really value finding the things that connect us all. We’ve loved making this music together and have enjoyed pushing each other to be vulnerable in our lyrics and choices. As we work toward our debut album, it’s exciting to know we will be able to tell the tales we want to tell and share even more of who we are. We look forward to continually expanding our community and hitting the road to connect in-person.”
Recorded during a weekend escape from Los Angeles to the dusty shadows of Joshua Tree National Park, the EP was produced in collaboration with Garrett Hall in a desolate destination dubbed “The Adobe.” The barren confines quickly became a beloved, creative clubhouse for Wells Ferrari, and the seven-song collection was born. Confessional, conversational, and pure, Wasted Time sheds all artifice of affectation and mines the pair’s collective stormy past as prologue to a hopeful future. Love found and lost, hardship, doubt, and triumph – personal choices that pull us away or lead us back are the bedrock of the Wells Ferrari narrative and ever-growing repertoire.
The title track opens the EP with hushed power, gradually unfolding from quiet reflection into a layered, Americana-tinged anthem while “Life After Death” blends gritty, raspy vocals with an infectious melody, and “Leave It That Way” offers a soulful, stripped-down sound showcasing the duo’s emotional range. “Bending” features delicate chords and intricate instrumentation, closing with a candid laugh that highlights the pair’s close-knit friendship and “Already Gone” taps into themes of nostalgia and longing, while the EP’s focus track, “Cloud of Rain,” reflects on resilience and generational pain. “Long Way Home” porta l’EP ad una chiusura straordinaria, iniziando con armonie riccamente stratificate che si trasformano in un potente finale che riflette l’arco emotivo dell’intero progetto.
Following a successful run supporting Evan Honer on his UK tour this past summer, the pair will join Yoke Lore and Matt Maeson on select U.S. tour dates this fall. Known for their emotionally resonant live shows, the duo brings the same stripped-down warmth and soul to the stage as they do to the studio, delivering performances that are not to be missed.

Chi siamo
Will Wells e Mikey Ferrari sono cresciuti sulle rive della baia alle estremità opposte di questo paese, bobbando e tessendo attraverso varie calamità e trappole della gioventù prima di essere salvati dalla musica, ognuno a modo suo. Wells chiama casa Chesapeake Bay del Maryland, mentre Ferrari proviene dalla Bay Area della California. Entrambi hanno lasciato la città come adolescenti: Wells alla Berklee School of Music di Boston; Ferrari al ranchland di Montana. Sbarcando a Los Angeles in un momento o nell'altro, hanno lottato separatamente per trovare qualsiasi senso di connessione musicale o personale. Nel 2019, quando i due si sono incontrati durante una sessione di scrittura per un altro artista, hanno riconosciuto due cose: una, che fare musica era l'unica cosa che volevano fare, e due, che questa nuova, un'altra persona era ciò che ognuno aveva cercato per arrotondare il loro sé artistico. Alcuni lo chiamano kismet, altri destino; lo chiamano semplicemente Wells Ferrari.
