U.K. quartet Wolf Alice continue to make noise in anticipation of their debut “My Love Is Cool” (out June 22 via Dirty Hit and RCA). With raucous first tastes like “Moaning Lisa Smile” and “Storms” for fans across the pond, the States now have pop-grunge tune “Giant Peach.” At first the dulcet tones of leading lady Ellie Rowsell bounce around the guitar riffs, but as soon as the pounding percussion completely drops she immediately follows-up a spoken verse with spine-tingling shrieks. Melodically sticky yet delightfully dissonant at times, the new single stays true to the nature of their band name. Wolf Alice sounds ferocious yet beautiful and always extreme.
