Today, he offered a taste of what’s to come with his new single and music video for “Objection!” Previously, he launched singles “Trailers after dark” and “Choose the latter.” The Stranger Things actor is no stranger (no pun intended) to folk-tinged indie music with previous projects such as Calpurnia and The Aubreys. However, these recent releases are his most fully-realized and are utterly thrilling. Happy Birthday, Wolfhard’s debut LP “was written during a year of self-reflection.
