Wolf Alice - My Love Is Cool (2015) [Hi-Res]

What we said: In our 2014 interview at SXSW, Wolf Alice revealed that their biggest fear was getting “trapped in a tundra of hype.” While that buzz has only intensified over the past 15 months, their long-awaited debut reveals zero signs of struggle. Rather than succumbing to the grunge-rock pigeonholing certain corners of the music press have insisted upon, the North London quartet continue to show their flexibility, ricocheting between twinkling lullabies (‘Soapy Water’) and punk thrashes (‘You’re A Germ’), euphoric indie-pop (‘Bros’) and swaggering rock (‘Giant Peach’). For every fuzzy riff you’ll find a hugely melodic hook, and driving it all is Ellie Rowsell’s versatile voice, variously angelic and Valkyrie-like in its ferocity. Tundra or no tundra, it’s probably time to believe the hype.
