Regardless of where it lands on the charts, WOLF ALICE’s My Love Is Cool will stand as one of 2015’s most inventive records. The North London four-piece have had to face expectations and skepticism for months, if not years, but their debut full-length (out now via Dirty Hit/RCA) has respectfully become “the flag waving spearhead for a whole wave of young British bands”. Why? Because it bites back.
My Love Is Cool could have easily turned into another wannabe misprint of Nirvana and Queens Of The Stone Age, and yet it’s a calculated jump from their Blush and Creature Songs EPs. It stands with its own intentions, finessing a sense of youthful ambition and a mess of indie, psych, folk, and alternative to be a project you can’t pin down. With Wolf Alice gearing up for an eventful summer, we chatted with vocalist/guitarist Ellie Rowsell about the road to their debut, the unique relationships they’ve built with their fans, and why the band is entirely comfortable with being different.
