At the time of this FUV Live session with Wolf Alice at New York's Power Station at Berklee NYC, it was not quite a month since the band had released their fourth album, 'The Clearing,' out now on RCA Records, which vaulted to the peak of the UK album charts its first week. It was also shortlisted for a Mercury Prize, the fourth such nomination for the quartet, the first band to be shortlisted for every one of their albums.
On the rainy September day of this session, hosted by Kara Manning , Ellie Rowsell, Theo Ellis and Joel Amey were at the start of their 2025 North American tour, joined on this trip by Genghar's John Victor on lead guitar while Joff Oddie was on paternity leave. (Touring keyboardist Ryan Malcolm was out sick.)
In addition to playing a cuss-free version of "The Couch" and "Leaning Against the Wall," Rowsell, Ellis and Amey chatted about the bold, adventurous ideas on this acclaimed album, working with producer Greg Kurstin, and the lasting importance of their deep friendship.
continue their tour of the EU and the UK through December.
