Wolf Alice add second London show to 2025 UK and Ireland tour 

Written in North London and recorded in LA with Grammy-winning producer Greg Kurstin, the forthcoming LP will act as a follow up to 2021’s ‘Blue Weekend’ - a record which DIY hailed as “a history-book cementing document of a band at the peak of their powers.” ‘Bloom Baby Bloom’ is the first material we’ve heard from the seminal four-piece since then - that’s right, it’s been four whole years, people - and evidently, Wolf Al are returning with bombast, style, and ambition galore.

“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,” frontwoman Ellie Rowsell has said of the record’s lead single. “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.”

What’s more, ‘Bloom Baby Bloom’ has also arrived accompanied by a no-holds-barred video directed by Colin Solal Cardo (Charli xcx, Robyn, Christine & The Queens). Drawing on Bob Fosse and All The Jazz references, it’s a theatrical, joyous extravaganza of a visualiser, with Ellie herself at the centre of the choreo.
