It has captured on record the thrill, angst, sadness and uncertainty of being in your twenties and not really knowing what’s going to happen or should happen.” And while Wolf Alice may not care what I think, if they’re rejecting everything and open to nothing but the pain, all I can ask is, ”What’s the point?” Don’t sit there afraid of the future, go out and open your own doors.” Which is pretty much what the band has done, they’ve found a means of wallowing in their own misery and making some money at the same time. Which would seem to invalidate all aspects of nihilism in favor of capitalism.It was nuts, like the second coming or something,” confirms Ellis. “There was one event we went to in Dalston where he was there to galvanise musicians and artists who were campaigning for Labour, and every grime MC you’ve ever heard of had him surrounded, trying to get a photo with him. It was amazing for me to see a politician in that light. You never saw people clambering over each other to get a selfie with Gordon Brown. He really has galvanised a generation.” Jones, Alan (6 October 2017). "Official Charts Analysis: Shania Twain takes No. 1 in close battle with Wolf Alice". Music Week . Retrieved 6 October 2017.

But for all the episodic glamor of all these songs, Wolf Alice's true discography centerpiece is Don't Delete the Kisses, an addictive work of art that envelops you in a sentimental scenario that overwhelms with how lifelike and passionate it is. The song releases pent-up insecure thoughts of romance, pained and hoarse and hesitant and extremely real. The whole album means the world to me, but Don't Delete the Kisses in particular manages to melt my heart and bring tears to my eyes every time I listen to it. a b Ihnat, Gwen (28 September 2017).

"Wolf Alice announce new single 'Yuk Foo', second album and UK and world tour". NME . Retrieved 13 June 2017. Wolf Alice formed in 2010, initially as a duo comprised of Rowsell and guitarist Joff Oddie. Drummer Joel Amey and bassist Theo Ellis joined the band in 2012. They signed to the independent British label Dirty Hit, also home to the 1975, and in 2015 released their debut album My Love Is Cool, after building their profile through extensive touring. The album was nominated for the 2015 Mercury prize but lost to Benjamin Clementine. They have been commended for their genre-fluid approach to guitar music, incorporating elements of dream-pop and, on their blistering 2017 single Yuk Foo, hardcore punk. In 2017 they also starred in On the Road, a fictional romance film directed by Michael Winterbottom, set on a Wolf Alice tour. A jar of perfect memories with a light to keep them warm" It's been over two years since I first heard Visions of a Life, and it remains one of the most touching and realistic albums I know. Every single song displays unbelievably delicate emotion, as if they are really just heartfelt diary entries taking musical form in a spiritual paradise realm.
