Wolf Alice by Jordan Hemingway
Wolf Alice gave a live debut to their new single on Later…With Jools Holland.
Wolf Alice performed The Last Man On Earth as Later…With Jools Holland continued its 57th series on the BBC yesterday.
It’s the track which led off the announcement of the band’s follow-up to 2017’s Visions Of A Life at the end of last month, Blue Weekend due on June 11th after sessions with Markus Dravs which added meat to the bones of demos which were first recorded in a converted church.
This single is about ‘the arrogance of humans’ according to Ellie Rowsell:
“I’d just read Kurt Vonnegut’s Cat’s Cradle and I had written the line, ‘Peculiar travel suggestions are dancing lessons from god’ in my notes,” she explained.
“But then I thought: ‘Uh, your peculiar travel suggestion isn’t a dancing lesson from god, it’s just a travel suggestion. Why does everything need to mean something more?’.”
