My Love Is Cool
Following the ecstatic response to their early EPs, Wolf Alice unveil a debut full-length that bristles with \'90s alt-rock fury, disarming pop melodies, and experimental textures. *My Love Is Cool* includes those EPs’ strongest moments (the sugary squall of “Fluffy” and the glimmering crescendos of “Bros”) and expands on their promise. While talented frontwoman Ellie Rowsell coos and belts on the towering lullaby “Your Loves Whore,” she adds ferocious vocal layering throughout the shoegazing screech of “Lisbon.”
Wolf Alice have gained attention for their powerful live show and four EPs. Their debut is a tentative coming-of-age story, as guitarist/singer Ellie Rowsell refuses to settle for a single identity.
