Britain’s Wolf Alice released their sophomore album, Visions of a Life, last fall via Dirty Hit/RCA. It was our Album of the Week (also read our rave 9/10 review of the album). It was also #5 on our Top 100 Albums of 2017 list. Now they have announced some new U.S. tour dates for this spring. They include dates in March and April. Check them all out below, followed by the recent Charli XCX remix of “Don’t Delete the Kisses,” along with three other videos from the album.

Read our recent interview with Wolf Alice on Visions of a Life.

Previously the band shared a lyric video for the album’s punky and profanity-laden first single, the two-minute long “Yuk Foo,” in which frontwoman Ellie Rowsell declares in the chorus “you bore me, you bore me to death, well you bore me, no I don’t give a shit.” (It was our #1 song of the week.) Then the band showed the more melodic and produced side of their sound with the album’s atmospheric second single, “Don’t Delete the Kisses.” (It was also our #1 song of the week.) Then they shared a fierce video for “Yuk Foo,” as well as a romantic video for “Don’t Delete the Kisses” directed by big time music video director Sophie Muller (Beyoncé, Radiohead, Blur) that chronicled a relationship purely via shots of the couple on public transport in London (mainly on the Tube, aka London’s subway system). And that was followed by the audio for “Beautifully Unconventional” (which was also one of our Songs of the Week), as well as a video for “Beautifully Unconventional” that featured frontwoman Ellie Rowsell channeling Marilyn Monroe, performing the song on a soundstage looking like something out of classic 1950s Hollywood. They also shared the audio for “Heavenward” and a video for “Heavenward.”

Wolf Alice released their amazing debut album, My Love Is Cool, back in 2015. It made it to #3 on Under the Radar‘s Top 100 Albums of 2015 list and landed Rowsell on the cover of our Best of 2015 print issue, in a joint cover with Father John Misty. Rowsell also sang guest vocals on the latest alt-J album, Relaxer, singing on the opening track, “3WW.”
