LA-based duo Hallows, aka Vanee Dusoruth and Dom Rolando, came up far from the easy mythologies of cool: Mauritius to Fargo is not a romance arc, it’s a weather event – and you can hear that displacement baked into the bones of Wear You Out. This is music made by outsiders who figured out how to make a room move, and who learned that feeling too much can still be a physical act.
And Wear You Out runs on a bassline that knows exactly where your hips live, then tightens the vice. The rhythm keeps pushing, a clean-lined insistence that feels almost cheerful until the lyrics lean in and whisper something uncomfortable in your ear. This is love as attrition. Touch as erosion. The hook doesn’t beg; it presses, again and again, until you understand how desire can feel like a closed room with no windows and excellent lighting. You dance because standing still would be worse.
The song is about that push and pull between desire and self-erasure, when you crave closeness while resisting surrender. Love feels coercive, addictive, and exhausting, fueled by doubt and control. Longing becomes a test of power, intimacy turning into mutual depletion, with need eclipsing selfhood entirely.
A familiar club rhythm pulses throughout the track, exuding sultry Italo warmth blended with sleek modern electronics and a buoyant glow. Yet, the song’s most striking feature is its measured sleekness. Emotions are tightly packed, under pressure, with vocals capturing that sweet-bitter desire for a hot energy vampire who drains you dry. It leans in, unflinching, allowing the tension to simmer.
Directed by Vivian Villa-Caratachea, the video for Wear You Out leans fully into performance, putting the band front and center and letting their chemistry do the talking. It crackles with livewire energy: loose, flirtatious, and slightly unhinged, capturing the thrill of watching a band fully locked in and feeding off its own momentum.

Hallows have been orbiting this terrain since the beginning: DIY resolve, underground patience, a slow ascent built on EPs, albums, and long stretches of road. With no formal musical training or industry safety net, Dom and Vanee started with little more than determination, shaping songs that mirrored their own lives: longing, resilience, and the quiet resolve of making your own way. From those early moments of hope and uncertainty, Hallows grew into something durable: proof that persistence can carry its own meaning and beauty.
Wear You Out cuts especially deep. It moves quickly, strikes cleanly, and knows when to let the beat take over the body and when to let the words leave a mark. Intimacy here isn’t gentle—it bruises, then pulls you back onto the floor.
Co-written with producer Matia Simovich (INHALT / Infinite Power Studios), the track threads his melodic highlines through Hallows’ colder core, creating something both close and widescreen. It offers a clear glimpse into Dream, an album that dwells where love, obsession, and hope press against one another.
“The song is about a love that feels bigger than you,” says Vanee Dusoruth. “It is intoxicating and magnetic, but it also hurts. You cannot step away, but you know it is going to leave a mark.”
