Wolf Alice<\/a> have released the latest teaser of their new album \u2018The Clearing\u2019 \u2013 listen to \u2018White Horses\u2019 below.<\/p>\n

The North London band announced their fourth studio album in May<\/a> and it will be released on August 22 via Sony (pre-order\/pre-save here<\/a>). It follows on from their debut album \u2018My Love Is Cool\u2019<\/a>, Mercury Prize-winning sophomore release\u00a0\u2018Visions Of A Life\u2019<\/a>\u00a0and 2022\u2019s cinematic\u00a0\u2018Blue Weekend\u2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n

They have already shared the singles \u2018Bloom Baby Bloom<\/a>\u2019 and \u2018The Sofa<\/a>\u2019, and now they are back with \u2018White Horses\u2019.<\/p>\n

Featuring drummer Joel Amey sharing rapid fire lead vocals with Ellie Rowsell, it is based around a hypnotic acoustic guitar riff that propels the psych-flavoured track like a driving synth line. Watch the video here:<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Amey has said: \u201cI was inspired by what songs we had already that were becoming \u2018The Clearing\u2019; the sonic shapes we were creating, the big acoustics, the harmonies, but I wanted to underpin it with a driving krautrock beat.\u201d<\/p>\n

Speaking about the inspiration for the song, he added: \u201cI was on this big adventure with my best mates, never feeling the need to call one place home, living out a suitcase, all the stuff that comes with being in a band. I felt that the answers to \u2018who I am and where do I come from?\u2019 didn\u2019t matter so much; I\u2019d chosen my family and they were the people around me. \u2018White Horses\u2019 was me trying to put all that into a tune, and Ellie, Joff and Theo helped me all along the way.\u201d<\/p>\n

NME\u00a0reviewed\u00a0\u2018Bloom Baby Bloom\u2019, awarding it five stars and writing<\/a>: \u201cAfter three albums of building and expanding their world, and experiencing the ups and downs of the music industry, it feels like the band are ready to stake their claim as one of their generation\u2019s most important acts. Now, Wolf Alice are undoubtedly in full bloom.\u201d<\/p>\n

In support of their new record, Wolf Alice are set to hit the road on a\u00a0headline tour of the UK and Ireland<\/a>. See the full list of dates here<\/a> and buy your tickets\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

In June,\u00a0the band spoke to\u00a0NME\u00a0at Glastonbury<\/a>\u00a0about how the response to their third album shaped their approach to \u2018The Clearing\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think very much. I think we were buoyed by the songier songs being things that people really connected to and we spent a lot more time working on those constituency, songy song parts of the songs,\u201d Joff Oddie said. \u201cIt\u2019s the hardest thing in the world to write a really concise song in a \u2013 I don\u2019t wanna say pop structure, but you know what I mean. It\u2019s quite easy to throw a five-minute jam together, but that\u2019s so difficult, so it\u2019s a brilliant challenge and that\u2019s more so where we were focused with this album.\u201d<\/p>\n

NME\u00a0gave Wolf Alice\u2019s Glastonbury 2025 performance five stars<\/a>, writing: \u201cThe energy they pour into today\u2019s set feels like that of a band who should be topping the Pyramid Stage next time they play Worthy Farm.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs the set ends with \u2018Don\u2019t Delete The Kisses\u2019 \u2013 a strong contender for one of the best, most dizzyingly accurate love songs ever written \u2013 that feeling only intensifies. That song finds Rowsell writing herself a romantic Hollywood ending; Wolf Alice\u2019s world-beating set does the same for Glastonbury 2025.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Wolf Alice have released the latest teaser of their new album \u2018The Clearing\u2019 \u2013 listen to \u2018White Horses\u2019…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":324306,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3936],"tags":[77,481,269,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-324305","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-music","8":"tag-entertainment","9":"tag-indie","10":"tag-music","11":"tag-uk","12":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114985622831892449","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/324305","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=324305"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/324305\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/324306"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=324305"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=324305"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=324305"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
