Wolf Alice unveil ‘You’re a Germ’
Taken from the debut album ‘My Love Is Cool’.
We’ve heard the gigantic ‘Giant Peach’, the rejigged ‘Bros’ - now Wolf Alice are previewing their debut album with ‘You’re a Germ’.
A bright, freakishly loud, firework-lighting burst of energy, this track is the perfect indication of ‘My Love Is Cool’’s dark core. Starting off with nothing but a simple, chugged acoustic guitar line, by the end it’s a fire-breathing monster, Ellie Rowsell screaming “you’re a dirty fucker as well, yes you are!”. It’s a beast.
The track gained its first play as Annie Mac’s Hottest Record on BBC Radio 1 and it’s streaming below.
‘My Love Is Cool’ is out 22nd June via Dirty Hit. Pre-order here.
