Wolf Alice: ‘Our album is like hummus’

 

“It’s crazy, Los Angeles,” says Wolf Alice’s bassist, Theo Ellis. “It’s like a fictitious city.”

“You can go skiing and then come back down to the ocean,” adds singer Ellie Rowsell, “or go to the desert and then into town.”

The band spent the start of 2017 in the city, recording Visions of a Life – their follow-up to the Mercury-nominated debut My Love Is Cool.

Like that record, it tears up the indie-rock rule book, merrily flitting between wild-eyed punk (Yuk Foo), dreamy pop (Beautifully Unconventional) and chiming indie melodies (Planet Hunter).

“We’re easily influenced,” laughs Rowsell. “But I think the thing we’ve learned the most is that you have to trust your gut.”

The band landed in LA on the day of Donald Trump’s inauguration, noting that “everyone seemed really angry”. But the political situation didn’t really feed into the record, most of which was written in advance.

Instead, the lyrics are deeply personal, talking about departed friends, blossoming love affairs and, on Sky Musings, a panic attack Rowsell suffered at 40,000 feet while flying between stops on tour.

The band tell the BBC why they “couldn’t hold back” their feelings; why Craig David should be prime minister; and how hummus is the “good analogy” for their ambitious and impressive second album.
