Wolf Alice — Blue Weekend

Black Vinyl LP Released in 2021, Blue Weekend is the third album from one of Britain’s most revered bands, and the follow-up to Wolf Alice’s 2017 Mercury Prize-winning album, Visions Of A Life. Personal storytelling is at the core of Blue Weekend, an album that sees Wolf Alice embrace a newfound boldness and vulnerability in equal measure. For Blue Weekend, the band gathered at an Airbnb in Somerset, where they reconfigured who they were together and set to work on some fledgling demos in a converted church. These demos evolved into Blue Weekend, a record produced by Markus Dravs (Arcade Fire, Björk, Brian Eno, Florence + The Machine) who has aided the band in refining their sound to an even sharper point. Wolf Alice are Ellie Rowsell (vocals, guitar), Joff Oddie (guitar, vocals), Theo Ellis (bass) and Joel Amey (drums, vocals). It’s been more than a decade since the band began as a duo of Rowsell and Oddie, then later expanded to a four-piece. Since then, the band released their 2015 debut album My Love Is Cool, earned a Grammy nom for Best Rock Performance and had their sophomore album, Visions Of A Life, win the 2018 Mercury Prize. Blue Weekend is the next chapter for Wolf Alice, and it’s the work of a band who raise the bar with every release. Released: 6/4/21
