Wolf Alice have shared the stylish video for their latest single ‘Just Two Girls‘ recently topping the UK album charts with their fourth studio album The Clearing, which has also been shortlisted for the Mercury Prize this morning.
A love letter penned for female friendships all over the globe, it’s a song celebrating the power of connection and unadulterated adoration for your best friend, your soul mate. To the ones who get you, know you, understand your hang ups, passions and inner thoughts – sometimes even before you do. The ones who can help you navigate life and make some sense of the world, one date at a time.
Singer Ellie Rowsell says:
“I was inspired by going for dinner with my friends – a couple of friends at different times, just one-on-one. I noticed how much I was saying, ‘Oh my God, yeah you’re so right!’ and I thought it was so nice to see how validating these conversations with my girlfriends are, how much I’m learning in these chats. I think I’ve been trying to figure out a lot of things, like getting older. I feel it’s really been a strange time of thinking about appearance. And these are things you hash out with your girlfriends and suddenly you don’t feel so shit about them. I just felt like there deserved to be a song about that.”
The video is directed by Colin Solal Cardo and choreographed by Ryan Heffington (both of whom worked with the band on the Bloom Baby Bloom video) and features actor Lucy Boynton (Bohemian Rhapsody, The Politician). It finds the two girls catching up over some drinks in a bar before causing gentle mayhem throughout the restaurant in the name of frivolity. A snapshot into the connection between two friends without a care in the world, enjoying each other’s company and hoping that others come along for the ride.
Widely hailed as their boldest and most accomplished album to date, The Clearing has earned five-star reviews from the likes of NME, DIY and Dork, with Rolling Stone UK praising their “new sound that’s more confident than ever” and Mojo declaring it “Wolf Alice’s best yet”.
Wolf Alice now look ahead to their biggest ever global headline tour across North America, Europe, the UK and Ireland, which includes two landmark nights at the London O2 Arena in December. Tickets and full touring itinerary HERE.
