Wolf Alice performing at the Aberdeen Garage. August 2017. (Kayleigh Morrison / Live4ever)
Wolf Alice were live on Later…With Jools Holland last night in the wake of Visions Of A Life’s release last month.
The band book-ended the show with Beautifully Unconventional and Don’t Delete The Kisses – both performances can be viewed via YouTube for those in the UK.
“It’s one thing to commit to that ambition in your songwriting process of course, quite another to let your inhibitions go,” Live4ever’s album review reads. “Within the first few bars of opener Heavenwards though, it seems like just that process has happened. A grown up, more dynamic version of Swallowtail, its debt to Slowdive is an obvious one, but Rowsell sings like a glassy eyed angel; the hazy, effects-pedal swirl which is her backdrop enveloping the listener in waves.”
“Whilst most artists treat politics like kryptonite to avoid alienating factions, Wolf Alice openly have a lot on their mind, with Rowsell at the vanguard of an ideological conflict she claims is, ‘A choice between good and evil’, a rare position for a young woman in an industry that likes its females docile or hyper sexualised.”
