With the help of Markus Dravs (master producer, songwriter, programmer, engineer, and mixer with credits including Arcade Fire, Coldplay, Björk, and Hozier), Wolf Alice mapped out Blue Weekend their most cinematic record to date, complemented with a color-drenched visual translation of the tumultuous, emotion-heavy weekend it describes, helmed by director Jordan Hemingway. Throughout the album’s tracklisting, soaring orchestral sequences meld with punk-inspired guitar solos, grinning with bared teeth, creating a heavily dichotomized, but still cohesive epic and testament to the British foursome’s gradually matured artistry.
