Single Review: Wolf Alice ‘Storms’

London-based quartet Wolf Alice’s latest EP ‘Creature Songs’ sees the band trying out several different genres, from Alt-Folk to anthemic Indie Rock with a touch of Punk attitude.

‘Storms’ carries the latter quite efficiently with a fittingly storming intro that leads to a soft verse built upon heavy thumping bass. Grunge icons Nirvana come to mind, as well as Pixies, and we can’t really complain. Wolf Alice aren’t content to just emulate their Garage Rock idols though, and also bring in a The xx vibe to the hushed and floating tones of the verses.

‘Creature Songs’ follows on from last year’s debut EP ‘Blush’ and, while there is still no sign of a full-length album on the horizon, Wolf Alice are showing no signs of taming their wild Garage sound anytime soon.
