Heights, stylized in all-caps as HEIGHTS, is the upcoming fourth studio album by American pop rock band Walk the Moon. This is Walk the Moon's first album as a trio, without bassist Kevin Ray who parted ways with the band in December 2020.^[1] Band members Nicholas Petricca and Eli Maiman both played bass on each track.

Background[]

In 2019 the band released three singles that may or may not be on the album: Timebomb, Eat Your Heart Out, and Lose You Again featuring BRAVES. On July 14, 2021, the band released three new singles that will definitely be featured on the album: the lead single, "Can You Handle My Love??", plus "I'm Good" and "Giants".^[2] In frontman Nick Petricca's words, "the album is buttressed by songs that are eight or nine years old, and that the band writes a lot of songs for each record, so there's a lot of material that doesn't get used, and it's not because we don't love those babies. Sometimes it takes a while for them to grow up, or for us to find the right way to really bring them to life."^[3] It will supposedly have a more optimistic sound to it, similar to the band's earlier works.^[4]

The album will be released in the second half of 2021, most likely in September.^[5]
