Britain’s Wolf Alice are releasing their sophomore album, Visions of a Life, on September 29 via Dirty Hit/RCA. 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.) Now they have shared a video for “Yuk Foo.” In it the band performs the song in some sort of dingy basement setting, with pipes on the ceiling above them. Strobe lights flash through most of the unrelenting clip, as the band accurately embody the energy of the short song, with Rowsell coming off as particularly fierce. Watch it below, followed by the band’s upcoming tour dates.

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 recently sang guest vocals on the new alt-J album, Relaxer, singing on the opening track, “3WW.”
