Like with the campaign of Visions Of A Life, Wolf Alice are bouncing all over their handdrawn map. While Blue Weekend lead single 'The Last Man On Earth' was a gentle ballad, new single 'Smile' is an unhinged rock track.

Somewhat following the 'Yuk Foo' school, 'Smile' is a crunching guitar-led anger-fest - at least until the mid-point, when some of the dream pop that the band are best known for comes in.

“This is one of the songs we wrote thinking that we would play it live" Ellie Rowsell said, "I miss that feeling of singing on stage. It’s like screaming into a pillow or something — you can get away with being more nasty."

Blue Weekend Tracklist:

1. The Beach
2. Delicious Things 
3. Lipstick On The Glass
4. Smile
5. Safe From Heartbreak (if you never fall in love) 
6. How Can I Make It OK?
7. Play The Greatest Hits 
8. Feeling Myself 
9. The Last Man On Earth
10. No Hard Feelings 
11. The Beach II

Blue Weekend arrives 11 June via Dirty Hit.
