Wolf Alice Releases New Song “The Sofa”
London-based alt-rock band Wolf Alice, consisting of Ellie Rowsell (vocals/guitar), Joff Oddie (guitar), Theo Ellis (bass) and Joel Amey (drums), released a new song “The Sofa” on July 11, 2025.
The song is the second single off of their upcoming fourth studio album “The Clearing”, following “Bloom Baby Bloom” released back in. May.
The album is set to be released on August 22, 2025 via RCA Records.
The track is a self-reflective piano-powered ballad. It was written by Ellie Rowsell, Joel Amey, Jonathan Oddie, Theo Ellis, and Greg Kurstin, who also produced the track.
The band lead singer Ellie Rowsell said of the song in a press release, “It's about not trying so hard to figure everything out, reflecting on getting older and trying not to agonize over things that have or haven't happened in your life. It's also about trying to get to grips with the polarizing aspects of one's life when you're in a band. You've just played a huge tour - and you come home, and you have your dinner on the sofa. For me, it's summed up in how I treat TV. I used to never watch the same thing twice because I thought I've got so much to discover! And now I'm like, It's okay if I just want to rewatch Peep Show for the thirteenth time.”- The new album comprises 11 tracks, produced by Greg Kurstin. It is their first album in four years since the 2021 album Blue “Weekend”.
The band wrote songs in Seven Sisters, London and recorded the album with American producer Greg Kurstin in Los Angeles.
The band guitarist Joff Oddie said of working with Greg Kurstin, “We did this in Hollywood, Los Angeles, California. We worked with Greg Kurstin who is a big famous pop producer, and probably one of the nicest men in the world, right? And it was a ball. I think it's probably one of the most incredible recording experiences we've ever had. Greg is like, such a generous guy. He is like, the most amazing musician I've ever seen. And we've got to hang out in LA Ford, which is cool.” - source : Apple Music
