They can rage to ‘Play the Greatest Hits’, or they can feel powerful to ‘Feeling Myself’, or ‘they can have a good cathartic cry to ‘No Hard Feelings’. I like that this album has different songs for different moods. Just as I find solace in writing and making music, I’d be absolutely chuffed if anyone had a similar experience listening to this. Each song, though, can be enjoyed in isolation. It’s a lot about relationships with partners, friends and with oneself, so there are themes of love and anxiety. “But with hindsight there are some running themes.
On an album so confident in its eclecticism, then, is there an overarching theme? “Each song represents its own story,” says Rowsell. It’s really tender it’s a beautiful piece of songwriting that is succinct, to the point, and moves me”).
“Our approach is to throw loads of stuff at the recordings, put loads of layers on and play with loads of sound, but I think we met in the middle really nicely.” There’s a Bowie-esque majesty to tracks such as “Delicious Things” and “The Last Man on Earth” “Smile” and “Play the Greatest Hits” were built for adoring festival crowds, while Rowsell’s songwriting has never revealed more vulnerability than on “Feeling Myself” and the especially gorgeous “No Hard Feelings” (“a song that had many different incarnations before it found its place on the record,” says Oddie.

When we first got back together at the first stage of writing Blue Weekend, we went to an Airbnb in Somerset and had a no-judgement creative session and showed each other all our weirdest ideas and it was really, really fun. “We toured Visions of a Life for a very long time playing a similar selection of songs, and we did start to become robot versions of ourselves. “It was an amazing experience to get back in touch with actually writing and creating music as a band,” bassist Theo Ellis says. “We’ve distilled the purest form of Wolf Alice,” drummer Joel Amey says.īlue Weekend succeeds a Mercury Prize-winning second album (2017’s restless, bombastic Visions of a Life), and its genesis came at a decisive time for the North Londoners. It’s a triumphant guitar record, at once fan-pleasing and experimental, defiantly loud and beautifully quiet and the sound of a band hitting its stride. The shredded guitars and pulsating percussion provide a great platform from which. Halfway through Blue Weekend’s opening track, “The Beach”, Wolf Alice have checked off cinematic, and by its (suitably titled) closer, “The Beach II”, they’ve explored several film scores’ worth of emotion, moods and sonic invention. On band's latest track, 'Smile', there is a return to the more raucous and explosive version of Wolf Alice.
