The band, comprising of singer Ellie Rowsell, guitarist and Cornwall’s own Joff Oddie, drummer Joel Amey and bassist Theo Ellis are now firmly established as one of the biggest and most accomplished British guitar bands, with their music and lyrics capturing the hearts and minds of a generation.
Wolf Alice’s powerful debut My Love Is Cool, featuring the Grammy-nominated single Moaning Lisa Smile, was released in June 2015 to critical acclaim and was nominated for that year’s Mercury Music Prize.
Success for the band only multiplied with the release of Visions of a Life in 2018, this time winning the Mercury Prize. NME listed the album at number two on its Albums of the Year and in 2019 declared it number 22 on their Best Albums of the Decade.
In 2021 the band released Blue Weekend, which earned them their first UK number one alongside a Brit Award for Best Group. It was also the best-selling album that year for independent record shops in the UK.
In August (2025), Wolf Alice released their latest body of work, The Clearing, which again debuted at the top of the UK Albums Chart and the Official Vinyl Albums Chart. The album was written in Seven Sisters and recorded in Los Angeles with Grammy-winning producer Greg Kurstin (Adele, Foo Fighters, Paul McCartney).
The Clearing features jubilant first single Bloom Baby Bloom and tender piano ballad The Sofa, which was described by The Sunday Times as being “as perfect a package as any song this year.”
