Wolf Alice – White Horses
Wolf Alice ventures into uncharted territory with ‘White Horses’, where drummer Joel Amey takes lead vocals before yielding to a stirring duet with Ellie Rowsell. The track arises from notes scribbled during a family car journey, eventually morphing into something that bridges krautrock rhythms with the band’s signature sound.
Amey’s exploration of heritage and identity provides the emotional roots here. His family’s adoption story becomes the springboard for examining questions of belonging, though he ultimately finds his answers in chosen family rather than bloodlines.
Recorded in Los Angeles with producer Greg Kurstin, ‘White Horses’ represents the band’s willingness to redistribute creative duties across their lineup. While Rowsell remains their primary voice, Amey’s vocal contribution adds textural depth that complements rather than competes.
As the third preview from ‘The Clearing’, following ‘Bloom Baby Bloom’ and ‘The Sofa’, this song demonstrates Wolf Alice’s knack for reinvention without abandoning their core strengths.
