Wolf Alice have announced a new album, The Clearing. The follow-up to 2021’s Blue Weekend is slated to arrive on August 29 via RCA. The British alt-rock outfit recorded the new LP in Los Angeles with producer Greg Kurstin. Along with the announcement, they’ve shared the thrilling, piano-led ‘Bloom Baby Bloom’. Check out its accompanying video, directed by Colin Solal Cardo, below.
“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,” lead singer Ellie Rowsell said of ‘Bloom Baby Bloom’. She added, “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.”
