Wolf Alice

The Clearing

£12.99

Released: 22nd August 2025. ‘Multi-BRIT Award nominees Wolf Alice return with their triumphant fourth album. Written in Seven Sisters and recorded in LA with Grammy-winning, master producer Greg Kurstin last year, 'The Clearing' reveals where Wolf Alice stand sonically in 2025, delivering a supremely confident collection of songs bursting with ambition, ideas and emotion. Rolling Stone UK - 4* “On The Clearing, the best new British band of the past decade find a comfortable new home in a new sound that’s more confident than ever” NME - 5* “Wolf Alice are the kind of band that keep on getting better with every record, and here, they raise the bar on themselves once again.”  DIY - 5* “One for the history books.” Mojo - 4* “Throughout, singer Ellie Rowsell is a compelling presence, and the result is Wolf Alice’s best yet”  The Times - 4* “The London quartet’s grandly expansive fourth album is a show of undeniable strength” Daily Star - 4* “Ellie Rowsell sounds like an artist hitting her peak, all dreaming on Leaning Against The Wall then soaring like a young Linda Ronstadt on The Sofa. The kooky Just Two Girls is their best ever.” The London Standard - 4* “These tracks eschew snarling aggression for airy, gauzy harmonies, ruminations on love and some truly excellent melodic hooks.” Dork - 5/5 “Rowsell reaffirms her place as one of the century’s indispensable British vocalists”
