Wolf Alice - Blue Weekend (Film)

[@wesebeling]

Blue Weekend is the greatest album in decades. I live for music. So many amazing bands. Sooo many amazing albums. But this is different. This is….transcendent? You just listen. And keep listening. The journey. The emotion. The story. If you are driving while listening, and arrive at your destination….you just put it in drive and keep driving. Let this album surround you and take you to a whole new head space. The album loops beautifully on repeat.

[@1manorgy]

holy crap it's literally just soyjak

[@grahambarlow9881]

I discovered them last year before BW came out and then I thought I've never heard anything like it; the diversity and musicianship between Bro's, Turn to Dust and Visions if a Life - what band dare do a 7 minute epic these days, it's a modern day Bohemian Rhapsody. I heard BW and thought (stupidly) oh no guitars.....but then started listening and can't stop. WA are on repeat and I'm yet to tire of anything. They're special; amazing live, amazing doing covers; amazing how they can also make one of their own epic songs epically their own (Sadboy live on late show). Long live WA

[@Verny62]

@@grahambarlow9881 Very well said - they are rather wonderful......

[@mikeward8197]

I agree. It's a tremendous album.

[@leascaart]

Same here. It's a masterpiece at interpreting the perfect emotion with the perfect note. Each member contributes so much. They continue the tradition of great music from our brothers and sistarts across the pond. YET, they have all the sensibilities of American influences. Amazing. Hope that made sense.

I discovered this band in 2016 after a break up. They helped heal my heart and head. Saw them live twice and it never disappoints.

[@adamprotz]

My eyes welled up with tears during Last Man On Earth and I needed it. What a special film, what a special album, what a very, very special band

[@john111257]

100%

[@twangology]

same here - it was well needed

[@asun1331]

I actually know a guy who this song is actually about. He does need help, but he will never ask for it and he knows he needs it ......sad, sad, sad

[@MommaKitten]

I will never not cry 41:34 onwards, what a beautiful representation of gathering strength from chance meetings and taking them with you as you are healing from trauma and/or heartbreak. This is so much more powerful now with the songs back and to back, and yeah, completely moved! Gorgeous work, Jordan Hemingway and crew, and of course, Wolf Alice! You all are amazing!

[@SwanZ99]

Dreamy psychedelic coolness. What a band!!

[@isotomek]

This is the best music (video) I've seen in a long time! Being 41, I moved from all the grunge, punk and metal, to something which for me at this age is much more satisfying. Thanks to this generation for all this new and amazing music! Wolf Alice, Chvrches, Grimes, Fazerdaze, M83 and so many more newcomers have emerged to give us this delight. It's not necessary that they are better, It's probably just me that had to move on with time and pass the torch to a new generation (my two daughters).

[@raphaelamak]

Blue Weekend got me through my worst days of winter blues amidst a breakup... And I love the storytelling concept of this album.

[@alanclayton9277]

This movie creates a dreamlike beauty, but finds it in reality. A band, with music like this, that makes you believe in bands.

[@ag02002]

This album has been the soundtrack of my life for the past year.

[@mrmervinjminky1536]

Can’t believe it’s been 1 year. Will listen to this album in 20 years and it’ll bring me straight back to 21/22. Thank you Wolf Alice, upon your throne, I salute you 🫡

[@annamavrakakis1349]

1) This album is an absolute masterpiece 👌 2) Wolf Alice truly understand what is lacking in this generation's music market. 3) If you're watching this as a millennial or an Gen Z then you'll love: PJ Harvey, Cocteau Twins, Cranberries, Kate Bush (not just Running Up That Hill), This Mortal Coil, Siouxsie & the Banchees, NY Dolls, X Ray Specs, basically the alternative/ new wave stuff from the late 70's - 90s. 4) Did anyone else who are older than the generations just mention think all the analogue TV's Karaoke machines, video players looked perfectly normal?! 🤣😬

[@paulp.8294]

I am in my 60's and I have been searching for and finding new music forever. I am not one to dwell on the past, like many my age. There is so much new stuff out there to listen to. Love this band and many others.

[@becmiberserker]

This was an extremely enjoyable concept film. Having a cross-generational cast was inspired and an excellent touch for communicating relevance to all. All the best for album number four!

[@commoneuropeanstarling]

I imagine this group has a lot of 'mature' fans 40+ as well as younger ones. This is the best group in recent years. By far.

[@kronkite1530]

You’re quite right, Steven … age is just a number (I’m 76 myself) and Ellie and the boys have captured my full attention lately with their mastery of all things musical. They’ve come a long way since Planet Hunter

such a great band . they seem like the proper evolution of what all the music I've listened to over 50yrs promised it would be

[@hermitrob5481]

Wow wasn't expecting that. What a spectacular album. The band maturing big league. Ellie obviously working on her vocal control, range etc. Using it as more of an instrument. Markus Dravs doing what he does. What a leap forward.

[@pistol207]

Having also lived under a rock, discovering this band a few months ago was a true gift. I always find myself in so much better of a place when I switch off & let their music takeover, whether that’s 1 song or the full album. What a band ❤

Stone cold masterpiece

[@TheLegendOfJoel]

The album that introduced me to Wolf Alice and made me immediately fall in love with them. This is a beautiful and perfect accompaniment to a beautiful and perfect album.

[@ruled_by_pluto]

i love this video album so so much, i keep revisiting this and it makes my love for the music grow over time. the cinematography is beautiful, and the way a film which is 9/10ths visual and no dialogue can add this much meaning to a longform piece of music is truly inspiring. i think so many of us music lovers have spent time imagining films like this in our heads to go along with our favorite songs but completely lack the resources to create them. such an ambitious project for a band and completely transformed the experience of listening to this record in the best way. especially in a world that is trying to destroy our attention spans for film by bombarding us with a slew 8-15 second clips, this project really stands out.

We all find bands in own space & time so no shame in coming to a band further on in their journey! I hope you’ve now checked out the first two albums as I’ve they’ve got a trilogy of brilliant albums. Also check out their early EPs - Blush and Creature Songs as some of my fave tracks (Blush, 90 Mile Beach, Storms, Moaning Lisa Smile) are on those!
