Wolf Alice have announced that their third studio album entitled Blue Weekend is slated to arrive June 11th, while offering the powerful lead single “The Last Man On Earth” as the project’s initial primer. Produced by Markus Dravs (Arcade Fire, Björk, Coldplay, Florence + The Machine), Blue Weekend follows 2017’s Visions of a Life, which captured Mercury Prize honors back in 2018.

“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,” the band’s Ellie Rowsell explains in an official statement regarding the single, which is inspired by “the arrogance of humans.” “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?'”
