The well-versed indie veterans, who have been earning their stripes for the best part of a decade, premiered their latest offering on Annie Mac’s Radio 1 show. For Wolf Alice fans alike — or anybody who has missed them just as much — it’s been a three-year wait (we’re not counting Ellie’s feature on Mura Masa’s Teenage Headache Dreams) that has felt drastically long, no thanks to the current pandemic.
To no surprise at all, Ellie Rowsell once again proves how astounding she is when it comes to writing in such an effortlessly confessional and intimate way; giving a glimpse into her diary per se. Not to mention the accompanying sublime sounds of strings and the backtracking of Joel and Ellie’s vocals layered to sound like a choir, The Last Man On Earth is an endearingly beautiful and harmonic introduction to a new era for the London alt-rockers.
As if today couldn’t get any more exciting, the announcement of a third album, Blue Weekend, has left us with something to look forward to and is set to release on June 11th 2021.
