WOLF ALICE
Glastonbury 2015 [no label, 1CD]
Live at Glastonbury, The Park Stage, Worthy Farm, Pilton, UK; June 26, 2015. Very good audio, extracted from webcast.
Singer-guitarist Ellie Rowsell comes across a bit like Aimee Mann circa the early days of ‘Til Tuesday (but without a surefire hit like Voices Carry) and Wolf Alice’s mix of roots rock and feedback-drenched guitar leaves a nice crunchy sound. One wonders just what their next two albums will sound like - will they continue in the same vein or will they be the next Breeders/Pixies or My Bloody Valentine? [And doesn’t Lisbon sound like Walk Like An Egyptian by way of Sonic Youth?]
gigwise.com raved:
Fresh after a secret set last night at The William’s Green tent, Wolf Alice put on an unforgettable show for their official performance on The Park Stage, totally winning over a busy, rain-soaked audience. Roaring through future classics from their currently No. 1 album, My Love Is Cool, it became apparent remarkably early on that the London four piece are one of the finest new bands in Britain at the moment.
Kicking off with ‘Fluffy’, every single moment of the set felt inclusive and resonant, playing off the energy of the crowd to bring ferocity in the more intense moments, and communal emotional outpour in the more intimate, the latter became particularly apparent during their nostalgic new single ‘Bros’. During ‘The Wonderwhy’, singer Ellie Rowsell’s mic stand collapsed, leaving the band in a fit of laughter as she delivered the song on her knees - quite fittingly - the line “don’t leave me here.”
“We’ve got two songs left, are you ready to go hard?” asked bassist Theo Ellis, before an epic closing through the torrential downpour. Naturally, ‘Giant Peach’s’ gargantuan finale and the singalong charm of ‘Bros’ sit as highlights from the performance, and needless to say it’s obvious they will continue to rise up the ranks in the coming years.
