Dirty Hit Vinyl & CDs

Review: Wolf Alice's evolution from a duo to a quartet has been nothing short of meteoric. Over a decade since Ellie Rowsell and Joff Oddie first joined forces, the band has soared to remarkable heights. Their decision to repress their third EP, Creature Songs, on white vinyl for its ten year anniversary, highlights their commitment to honoring their roots while embracing their future. Wolf Alice's Creature Songs EP is a vibrant ode to '90s grunge, but with a distinct 2014 twist. The EP showcases the band's ability to seamlessly shift between raw, angst-filled tracks like 'Moaning Lisa Smile' and 'Storms,' to more melodic and atmospheric tunes such as 'Heavenly Creatures' and 'We're Not The Same.' While their aesthetic may nod to a bygone era, their sound is undeniably contemporary and powerful. With Ellie Rowsell's commanding vocals and the band's expertly crafted hooks and riffs, Creature Songs proves that Wolf Alice is not just a nostalgic throwback, but a force to be reckoned with in the present music scene.
