46 ISSUE 103 / 2017 INDIE Painted Ruins, Grizzly Bear's fifth studio album, is gleaming with cathartic arrangements and a synth-induced eclecticism. The American rockers land in London on the 28th of October as part of their global tour. The Brooklyn-based indie rock four-piece draw us in with lush atmospheric melodies, with 'Wasted Acres'. Going deeper into the set they channel new-wave synths in hazy pop beats on, 'Mourning Sound'. Which stands out as the band's venture into anthemic choruses and translates into a powerful, yet lyrically tumultuous piece. With a familiar sound that almost feels like coming home, the band's immeasurable talent is laid bare, and it vibrates with potential like never before. Painted Ruins will show you highs, lows, bliss, chaos, fragility & aggression. The band are on tour right now, preparing to drop their 11th studio album. Entitled Pacific Daydream, they already have two singles out; 'Feels Like Summer' & 'Mexican Fender', giving fans a taste of what's to come. Ahead of the LP's release the group have been on tour to further promote the record. The final stop will be in London at the Wembley Arena, where Weezer will complete their touring stint the day after Pacific Daydream's release. Providing support for the group is The Orwells & Ash. GUESTLIST RECOMMENDS: GRIZZLY BEAR EVENT PREVIEW: WEEZER ARTIST OF THE MONTH: WOLF ALICE The latest album Visions Of Life by alternative four-piece Wolf Alice proves that Britrock is alive and well. The LP's opener 'Heavenward' draws you in effortlessly, patching together a grunge sound with a rock 'n' roll attitude. Encapsulated perfectly by fontwoman Ellie Rowsell's captivating voice. Drifting from teeth baring rock to a more electronic folk style, 'Planet Hunter' captures the band's transition from a sparse guitar arrangement to shoegaze, repackaging the best parts of the 90's indie sound. However, Wolf Alice don't stop there, staying true to their folk-rock hybrid roots in 'Beautifully Unconventional', 'Space & Time' & 'Don't Delete The Kisses' the group offer up an expansive experience that doesn't stray too far from their previous album My Love Is Cool. But this time they have taken what they learned from My Love is Cool and created an album that surges with delectable space rock & snarling punk vocals. It seems like Wolf Alice are letting us know Britrock never left it just evolved.
