In the jubilant final verse of Wires in the Walls new single “The Ringer,” the L.A. quintet sings en masse “Hang on tight / hang on tight / things are bound to better,” punctuating their slice of driving Americana with shouted optimism. It’s fitting, considering the band is working on a full-length album, its first after two EPs, and the forthcoming collection of music will be the first singer-guitarist Warren Sroka, bassist Nick Tracz, guitarist Dave Irelan, drummer Bryan King and multi-instrimentalist Dave Sicher have made as a five-piece. Wires in the Walls have honed to the traditional in their early folk-rock excursions; “The Ringer” and its B-side “Soft Shirt” signal that they are broadening their horizons.
