Wolf Alice's official debut EP, Blush, appeared that October and garnered positive reviews, with some critics comparing the group to Elastica, Garbage, the Duke Spirit, and Pixies. This fleshed-out, electrified incarnation of the band released their debut single "Fluffy" in February 2013 on the Chess Club label, with "Bros" following in May.
After issuing a self-titled EP, the group expanded into a quartet with the addition of drummer Joel Amey and bassist Theo Ellis. Wolf Alice formed in 2010, when singer/songwriter Ellie Rowsell and guitarist Joff Oddie began playing as an acoustic duo and took their name from a short story by Angela Carter. With 2021's anthemic yet atmospheric Blue Weekend, Wolf Alice's ambitions and horizons continued to grow, garnering them a third consecutive Mercury Prize nomination and winning them the 2022 Brit Award for Group of the Year. The band won the Mercury Prize for 2017's Visions of a Life, an album that added more elements, as well as more polish, to their music. They're also one of the most acclaimed: The North London group's 2015 debut album My Love Is Cool - which highlighted the delicacy and ferocity of Ellie Rowsell's vocals and lyrics - counted Grammy Award and Mercury Prize nominations among its many accolades. With their distinctive blend of vintage '90s indie rock, folk, electronic, and dream pop, Wolf Alice are one of the most eclectic bands of the 2010s and 2020s.
