Product Description
Wolf Alice have revealed details for the follow-up to their Mercury Prize-winning second album, ‘Visions Of A Life‘ – with ‘Blue Weekend’.
After the success of the record and months of hard touring took their toll on the band, they headed to an Airbnb in Somerset to “reconfigure who they were together” and find a new sound and chemistry, before recording the album in a converted church with Markus Dravs (famed for his work with Arcade Fire, Björk, Brian Eno, Florence + The Machine).
Guitarist Joff Oddie described the tracks as “the best songs Ellie’s ever written”, showcasing her knack for personal and confessional storytelling".
“This album is for other people,” said Rowsell. “Sometimes you hear a song and it makes you feel better, or you hear a song and it makes you feel seen. I remember feeling blue about something, and thinking, ‘I wonder what songs I can listen to that will be about what I’m feeling right now’.”
She continued: “It was almost as if I was desperate to feel better about something, and I would go down any path to feel not alone in something, or to understand it more. And I’ve never really done that before intentionally, I’d never really sought it out.”
