Each of the four songs on Wires in the Walls’ new EP “Leap, Timber, Leap” is a mini-epic, a snippet of musical cinema that, in between the twinkling guitars, serene melodies and lustrous production, conveys the timeless tug-of-war between melancholy and hope. It’s a refinement of pop-Americana the Los Angeles quintet of Warren Sroka, Denton Biety, Bryan King, Dave Irelan and Dave Sicher debuted on their fine 2011 album “New Symmetry.” The new EP was made with producer Scott Gilman (Black Francis, Airborne Toxic Event); somewhere amid the quaver of Sroka’s vocals and the guitar crescendos in “August Parades,” you might wish it were more than just four songs.
