Listen to the new single here.
Platinum selling indie-rock quartet The Walters have shared new single “Broken Hearts and Memories.” The second offering from their upcoming album Good Company, out March 28th, the reverb-drenched track chronicles the difficult balancing act between feeling stuck in the past and running out of time.
The band shared, “‘Broken Hearts and Memories’” is a song about the universal feeling we all have of getting older and wondering if our best days are behind us.”
Last month, the Chicago-bred, LA-based group announced their long-awaited debut album Good Company, and shared new single and video, “Life On The Line.” Co-written with Adam Melchor and Doug Schadt and produced by Schadt (Maggie Rogers, Wet), the track showcases the band’s penchant for warm, timeless melodies and finds vocalist Luke Olson going all-in on a relationship (If I’m going / I’m going in blind / With my life on the line).
The band are also set to support half•alive’s North American tour dates this spring, which kick off March 28th at House of Blues in San Diego, CA.

Since forming over a decade ago at a DePaul University house party in 2014, The Walters have seen the first song they ever wrote, “I Love You So,” become a certified Platinum, Top 40, viral sensation, netting over two billion streams and 10 billion TikTok views. They’ve played a triumphant set at their hometown Lollapalooza, broken up, reunited, signed to a major label, and gone independent again.
All these experiences combine on Good Company to create a swirl of musical escapism: layers of harmonies inspired by vocal groups like The Beach Boys and The Four Tops; the richly textured, progressive-pop charm pioneered by Pet Sounds; the quiet, contemplative lyricism of folk legends like Neil Young; the swagger of more modern acts like Dr. Dog and The Strokes.
It’s a genre-spanning set that speaks to audiences with poise and maturity, embedded with a renewed sense of trust, honesty, and musical freedom – powerful weapons when placed alongside the sonic warmth that makes The Walters so immediately captivating and comforting.
The Walters are: Luke Olson (vocals), Walter Kosner (guitar), Danny Wells (bass), and Charles Ekhaus (drums).
