Vol. 2

Released in late 2012, Vol. 2 serves as a definitive document of Walk off the Earth's transition from viral sensations to a formidable recording act. Following the massive success of their '5 people, 1 guitar' cover, this album expands their sonic palette while maintaining the 'found-object' intimacy that defined their early work. The tracklist is a curated mix of contemporary pop covers (Rihanna, Wiz Khalifa, Fun.) and original compositions that lean into reggae-fusion and indie-folk territories. Musically, the album is anchored by the group's signature multi-part harmonies and the prominent use of the ukulele as a lead instrument. Critically, it represents the peak of the 'acoustic cover' era, showcasing a level of arrangement complexity that elevated the band above their peers. The production is intentionally 'close-mic'd' and dry, emphasizing the physical effort of the performance and the group's chemistry. It remains a fan favorite for its ability to bridge the gap between polished pop sensibilities and a raw, busker-style energy.
