Blue Lullaby will be released on June 24, 2022 via RCA Records. The band shared the first tasters of the EP this morning – a stunning piano-and-choir version of “The Last Man On Earth.”
The London rock outfit performed the reimagined track on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, complete with a choir and strings. Watch the performance below.
“Blue Lullaby came about because we wanted to strip down some of our more emotional songs from Blue Weekend and see if they hit any different,” said Wolf Alice frontwoman Ellie Roswell of the EP. “We also had a really nice moment during the Blue Weekend campaign singing one of our songs with a choir and we wanted to experience that again with a few other songs.”
Wolf Alice began as a duo of singer Ellie Roswell and Joff Oddie before expanding to a four-piece with bassist Theo Ellis and drummer Joel Amey.
Their 2015 debut, My Love Is Cool, soared to No. 2 on the UK charts. Their sophomore release, Visions Of A Life went on to win the 2018 Mercury Prize and received a Grammy nomination for Best Rock Performance.
The group recently announced a fall North American tour. (See the dates below) In addition to their headlining dates, they will be supporting Harry Styles for a portion of his European dates this summer, as well as joining Halsey and Bleachers in select shows this June.
