Wolf Alice, one of Britain’s most revered bands and winner of the Mercury Prize 2018 for their last album, Visions Of A Life, today announce their highly-anticipated third album, Blue Weekend, due for release on 11 June. The first glimpse into this new world, ‘The Last Man On Earth’ was premiered as Annie Mac’s Hottest Record in the World on BBC Radio 1, continuing a tradition that started when Annie played ‘Giant Peach’ from the band’s Gold-certified debut LP My Love Is Cool, as her first song when taking over the weekday evening show in 2015.

Elaborating on who the titular The Last Man on Earth is, singer and guitarist for Wolf Alice Ellie Rowsell says,

“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?””

Blue Weekend will be released on 11 June 2021 and will be available on limited edition red transparent vinyl, yellow transparent vinyl and green vinyl, and black vinyl, CD & all DSPs.
