Wolf Alice is back with a brand new single ‘White Horses’, teasing their upcoming album ‘The Clearing’ which is set for release on August 22. The band has already shared singles ‘Bloom Baby Bloom’ and ‘The Sofa’, preparing and exciting their fans for the upcoming project.
The new single surprised more than one as it features drummer Joel Amey on lead vocals alongside main singer Ellie Rowsell. The drummer shared: “I was inspired by what songs we had already that were becoming ‘The Clearing’; the sonic shapes we were creating, the big acoustics, the harmonies, but I wanted to underpin it with a driving krautrock beat. I was on this big adventure with my best mates, never feeling the need to call one place home, living out a suitcase, all the stuff that comes with being in a band. I felt that the answers to ‘who I am and where do I come from?’ didn’t matter so much; I’d chosen my family and they were the people around me. ‘White Horses’ was me trying to put all that into a tune, and Ellie, Joff and Theo helped me all along the way.”
The upcoming album follows on from their debut album ‘My Love Is Cool’, their sophomore release ‘Visions Of A Life’ and one of their most acclaimed piece of work ‘Blue Weekend’. The band will hit the road with their new record at the end of the year all around the UK and Ireland. Tickets are still available on Ticketmaster.
Back in June, the ‘Don’t Delete The Kisses’ band spoke to NME after their Glastonbury set about the new album: “I think very much. I think we were buoyed by the songier songs being things that people really connected to and we spent a lot more time working on those constituency, songy song parts of the songs,” Joff Oddie said. “It’s the hardest thing in the world to write a really concise song in a – I don’t wanna say pop structure, but you know what I mean. It’s quite easy to throw a five-minute jam together, but that’s so difficult, so it’s a brilliant challenge and that’s more so where we were focused with this album.”
NME gave Wolf Alice’s Glastonbury 2025 performance five stars, writing: “The energy they pour into today’s set feels like that of a band who should be topping the Pyramid Stage next time they play Worthy Farm. As the set ends with ‘Don’t Delete The Kisses’ – a strong contender for one of the best, most dizzyingly accurate love songs ever written – that feeling only intensifies. That song finds Rowsell writing herself a romantic Hollywood ending; Wolf Alice’s world-beating set does the same for Glastonbury 2025.”
Wolf Alice will be playing shows in Manchester, Birmingham, Cardiff, Glasgow, Dublin, Leeds and London from November to December 2025.
