Wolf Alice detail fourth studio album, The Clearing
Wolf Alice have returned new the brand new single, "Bloom Baby Bloom", alongside the announcement of their fourth studio album, The Clearing.
“I wanted a rock song, to focus on the performance element of a rock song and sing like Axl Rose, but to be singing a song about being a woman,” Ellie Rowsell notes. “I’ve used the guitar as a shield in the past, playing it has perhaps been some way to reject the 'girl singer in band' trope, but I wanted to focus on my voice as a rock instrument so it’s been freeing to put the guitar down and reach a point where I don’t feel like I need to prove that I’m a musician.”
Wolf Alice’s fourth album The Clearing follows their debut My Love Is Cool, which featured the Grammy-nominated "Moaning Lisa Smile"; 2018’s follow-up Visions Of A Life cemented their rise with a Mercury Music Prize win, and 2022’s number one album, Blue Weekend with its resultant Brit Award for Best Group.
The Clearing, will be released on 29 August via RCA Records, and is available to pre-order now.
