Wolf Alice Releases New Song “White Horses”
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 “White Horses” on August 6, 2025.
This time, the band drummer Joel Amey performed lead vocals. The track explores themes of family and identity, drawing from his personal experiences.
The song is the third single off of their upcoming fourth studio album “The Clearing”, which is set to be released on August 22, 2025 via RCA Records and Columbia Records.
It was written by Ellie Rowsell, Joel Amey, Jonathan Oddie, and Theo Ellis. Produced by Greg Kurstin.
Joel Amey said of the song, “I was inspired by what songs we had already that were becoming The Clearing; the sonic shapes we were creating, the big acoustics, the harmonies, but I wanted to underpin it with a driving krautrock beat. We’ve never really known where we came in terms of heritage until recently. My mum and my aunt were adopted, and for years it posed questions of identity and where our roots lay for all of us, but for me, they never seemed like answers I needed to find out.”- He continued, “I was on this big adventure with my best mates, never feeling the need to call one place home, living out a suitcase, all the stuff that comes with being in a band. I felt that the answers to ‘who I am and where do I come from?’ didn’t matter so much; I’d chosen my family and they were the people around me. White Horses was me trying to put all that into a tune, and Ellie, Joff and Theo helped me all along the way.”

The band shared on social media, “It's about discovering your own version of home and the different forms 'family' can take. I wanted a way to say thank you to the people around me and the only way to do that is on a rock song with ya best mates. What started as an entry in my notes app became a song on The Clearing - and now its yours.”
The new album comprises 11 tracks, on which the band worked with producer Greg Kurstin in Los Angeles. It is their first album in four years since the 2021 album “Blue Weekend”. Also, it is the first release their under new labels RCA Records and Columbia Records. - source : Apple Music
