Wolf Alice - Lipstick On The Glass (Official Video)

[@artvjon]

Honestly this might be the best song on the album. This, Delicious Things, and Last Man are probably my Top 3!

[@camerickson9787]

Yes!! I think for me personally I’d swap out Delicious Things with ‘How Can I Make It Ok?’ I love everything about that song.

[@CINRZ]

@@camerickson9787 same ! And maybe last man on the earth for feeling myself

[@ItsMeiri]

There are too many good ones! But I'd add Feeling Myself as well.

Good list Jon. If you were to swap Last Man for Feeling Myself, we’d have the same Top 3!

Absolutely gorgeous music. It does remind me of the Cocteau Twins.

[@aishaclements3101]

I was looking for a comment about Cocteau Twins!! So strikes a bit of nostalgia!

[@orrex111]

Yes! And elements also seem reminiscent of mid 90s Lush IMO.

[@cantcny]

​@@orrex111 Holy shit. When I tell people about them I use Lush and CT to describe her vocals. This one in particular is almost dead on Elizabeth Fraser.

[@fetzcou]

you got it

[@texanperry]

I was thinking that too when Ellie sings the Kiss Me line I immediately thought of Liz Fraser and how she could hit those high notes.

[@vesselanew]

Astonishing guitar sound. Wolf Alice in full their shine! One of the best songs on Blue Weekend!

[@GarethJohnson]

Not least because it's practically the only song on the album where the guitars are allowed to feature. While the production is great on voice and drums, it is just straight bad on the guitars.

[@Joegriffussy]

@@GarethJohnson I’d have to disagree here. The guitars are used heavily throughout but the album has a heavier Shoegaze influence so they use more effects pedals. The guitars are just plain old guitars here with minimal effects

[@GarethJohnson]

​@@Joegriffussy I could have been more specific - I'm really talking about something quite different. I'm talking about the treatment and mixing of rock guitar on the album as a production choice. The choice is easiest to appreciate if you simply A/B a couple of tracks from the previous work versus this album that are very similar and pretty similar. Compare Yuk Foo to Play the Greatest Hits and then particularly play Giant Peach or Visions of a Life (the track) compared to Smile. With the earlier work you will hear bass, two guitars and drums mixed on the rockier numbers as equal partners with everything pushing forward, a guitar led rock band (as well as the many other things they are). On Play the Great Hits and then the biggest offender which is Smile, you will notice the guitar is pushed way back with bass leading everything. This is something you see in Marcus Dravs (the producer) work for Mumford & Sons and Coldplay (3 albums I think). He tends to push bass forward and push guitar back. It's just a production choice but for a two guitar band, I don't like it. In particular I stand by my ground that the mix of Smile could have been done a lot better. The guitar power chords instead of having that rock bite as they do in Giant Peach and much of Wolf Alice's work (and anyone who has seen them live) are smeared into the background with a very transistory 'shhhh' type sound rather than any bite. The bass is well recored but proportionately too loud. At 2.13 in the track there is a guitar 'solo' where the volume of the guitar is drowned out by splash cymbals for heavens sake! The chorus on the song should have taken off with crunch but is instead curiously muted with swells which takes the momentum out. Really good track which should have punched and been an absolute banger; instead it's got a bit of life taken out of it by the production. Notable also that Joff doesn't play any guitar on that track (it's all Joel and Ellie). If you then listen to the track Visions of a Life and you're a guitar fan, you might have a little weep about where they all went. BTW having been a massive shoegaze fan since the original shoegaze era where I listened overwhelming to 'gaze, I think that's quite a lot overstated. What you have is two tracks out of 11 which have really good shoegazey elements in Feeling Myself and of course the fantastic The Beach II. Elsewhere, really not so much. A little textural stuff, yeah, sometimes but shoegaze no. End of the day, it's the band's choice. Don't get me wrong, Blue Weekend gains a huge amount in other areas, particularly vocals (although I do wish they'd backed off the reverb and the choir-of-Ellies sometimes - on some tracks it is great on others like Safe from Heartbreak it's just too much) but Dravs is a bit of a strange choice for a two guitar band and I think on Play the Greatest Hits and Smile he's just the wrong producer - it would have been great to sub that out to Flood, Eno/Lanois, Meldal-Johnsen etc. One of the reasons Lipstick on the Glass is so good is that Joff's strong guitar for once gets to be a main accompaniment and it is much stronger for it. Bands have to experiment and Blue Weekend gains loads in many places. Ellie has never sounded better. Production is epic. I personally am looking forward to the live shows where I think the band's longtime engineers will restore a bit of punch and I strongly predict you'll see them come back towards a bit more of a balance on album 4 and I think it'll be all the better for it.

[@zenozeno608]

What a shivering voice, what an enveloping and devastating music... Infamous Fantano rejected this album as bad copying of '90s, "derivative pastiche" (same for "Zeros", damn him! Meanwhile Declan is announcing a new single)

[@vesselanew]

@@zenozeno608 Our boy is always on time and ready for surprises. And in general, our favorite musicians are always unranked enough ... is the world going in the wrong direction?

[@freedompatriot1097]

I would prefer much less reverb.

I totally agree, it’s almost like this was the moment that they’ve been building towards since their first EP - it’s everything that you love about the band, but with an added finesse and maturity. As it stands, this is peak Wolf Alice. It’s exquisite.
