Wolf Alice has announced that their third album is entitled Blue Weekend and will be released on June 11th via Dirty Hit Records/RCA Records.
With the announcement comes the release of the album’s first single “Last Man on Earth.” The track starts off as a piano ballad led by singer Ellie Rowsell before it expands into something widescreen and cinematic that goes to some new sonic places for the band, while still very much maintaining that trademark Wolf Alice sound.
Rowsell shared a brief statement about “Last Man on Earth”:
It’s about the arrogance of humans. I’d just read Kurt Vonnegut’s Cat’s Cradle and I had written the line “Peculiar travel suggestions are dancing lessons from god” in my notes. But then I thought: “Uh, your peculiar travel suggestion isn’t a dancing lesson from god, it’s just a travel suggestion! Why does everything need to mean something more?”
The music video for the single was directed by Jordan Hemingway and features Rowsell and is shot in black in white. Find the below, along with the album artwork and tracklist.
