Diverse influences make for a remarkable LP

Wolf Alice is a band with a diverse set of influences. There are detectable traces of shoegaze, pop, folk, punk, grunge, and indie, to name just a few components of the musical palette brought to bear on this album.

The crew behind the album has undoubtably managed to put together one of the most sonically interesting indie releases this year.

The presence of a single kind of justice

The planetary crises do not affect people equally. Marginalised people are hit worse most of the time. Not only are they hit worse, they also receive less support and are frequently not considered in decision-making. The examples are endless: in the global south, women and girls are exposed to more
