Review
Wolf Alice's 'Blue Weekend' isn't just a hit – it's a knockout punch that left the UK music scene reeling. This indie rock powerhouse stormed the charts, claiming the top spot and becoming the best-selling album in independent record shops across the country in 2021. Not too shabby for a band's third outing, eh?
But let's cut to the chase – 'Blue Weekend' is where Wolf Alice truly flexes their musical muscles. Ellie Rowsell's vocals are a force of nature, ranging from whisper-soft intimacy to full-throttle roars that'll make your hair stand on end. The band weaves a tapestry of sound that's part punk snarl, part indie rock swagger, and all heart.
Critics fell over themselves praising this album, and for good reason. It's a rollercoaster ride through eleven tracks of raw emotion and slick production. From soaring ballads to gritty rockers, 'Blue Weekend' hits all the right notes. It's no wonder the Mercury Prize came knocking – this album's got 'future classic' written all over it. Wolf Alice has howled their way to the top of the pack, and they're not coming down anytime soon. - Aubrey
