Wolf Alice Announce New Album Blue Weekend, Share Video for New Song: Listen

Music

Wolf Alice have announced a new album, sharing a single along with it. “Last Man on Earth” is the first offering from the band’s next record, Blue Weekend, which arrives on June 11 (via Dirty Hit/RCA). Watch a video for “Last Man on Earth” directed by Jordan Hemingway below.

Lead singer Ellie Rowsell shared a brief statement about “Last Man on Earth”:

It’s about the arrogance of humans. 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. 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?”

Blue Weekend is Wolf Alice’s third LP. The band’s previous album, 2017’s Visions of a Life, won the UK’s Mercury Prize and got an endorsement from UK Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn.
