Ellie Rowsell and Joff Oddie began Wolf Alice as an acoustic duo in London in 2010. Theo Ellis and Joel Amey joined, and the band’s louder sound took shape on their 2015 debut, My Love Is Cool.
Wolf Alice swing between fuzzy grunge, dreamy shoegaze, punk and soft folk, often within a single album. Rowsell’s voice can be delicate or ferocious, and the band are known for powerful live shows.
Rowsell is the band’s singer and main lyricist, writing frank, emotional songs about relationships and growing up. “Don’t Delete the Kisses” showed her softer side and became one of the band’s best-loved songs.
Visions of a Life won the 2018 Mercury Prize, beating Arctic Monkeys, and Blue Weekend (2021) became the band’s first U.K. No. 1 album and helped win them the 2022 Brit Award for British Group. After moving to Columbia, they released The Clearing in August 2025.
