Yesterday, British four-piece Wolf Alice announced a new album, The Clearing, and shared its first single, “Bloom Baby Bloom,” via a music video. Now they have announced some new North American tour dates for this fall, as well as some UK and EU ones. Check them all out below.

The Clearing is due out August 29 via RCA. It is the band’s fourth album and follows Blue Weekend, which was #2 on our Top 100 Albums of 2021 list. The band wrote the album in Seven Sisters, North London, England and recorded it last year in Los Angeles with Grammy winning producer Greg Kurstin.

Wolf Alice’s singer Ellie Rowsell had this to say about “Bloom Baby Bloom” in a press release: “I wanted a rock song, to focus on the performance element of a rock song and sing like Axl Rose, but to be singing a song about being a woman. I’ve used the guitar as a shield in the past, playing it has perhaps been some way to reject the ‘girl singer in band’ trope, but I wanted to focus on my voice as a rock instrument so it’s been freeing to put the guitar down and reach a point where I don’t feel like I need to prove that I’m a musician.”

Colin Solal Cardo (Charli XCX, Robyn, Christine & The Queens, Phoenix) directed the song’s video, which a press release says “deconstructs a classic rock performance by drawing on Bob Fosse and All That Jazz.” Emmy Award-winning choreographer Ryan Heffington (Euphoria, Sia, Kenzo + Margaret Qualley) choreographed the video.

The press release says The Clearing was influenced by ’70s classic rock and is akin to Fleetwood Mac making an album in North London in 2025.
