Personnel: Ellie Rowsell (vocals, guitar, omnichord, keyboards, synthesizer); Joff Oddie (guitar, keyboards, synthesizer, programming, background vocals); Joel Amey (omnichord, keyboards, drum, percussion, programming, background vocals); Theo Ellis (keyboards, synthesizer, background vocals); Justin Meldal-Johnsen (keyboards). Audio Mixer: Tom Elmhirst. Wolf Alice mastered the glossy and grungy sides of alt-rock on My Love Is Cool, with songs like "Bros" and "Moaning Lisa Smile" earning them accolades that included a Grammy nomination. On Visions of a Life, they explore the wider -- and sometimes wilder -- facets of their music. To that end, they recruited producer Justin Meldal-Johnsen, who toured with the famously chameleonic Beck as his musical director and bassist, and also produced albums for acts as disparate as M83, Paramore, and the Raveonettes. With his help, Wolf Alice both narrow and widen their focus, isolating their bratty, fizzy guitar-pop on "Yuk Foo," "Space & Time," and "Beautifully Unconventional," and delving into the trippier side of their music on "Formidable Cool," "Sadboy," and the title track, which flirts with prog and metal in its ambitious sweep. While these songs reaffirm that Wolf Alice can pull off almost any style of music, Visions of a Life's most convincing moments build on My Love Is Cool's forays into dream pop. Inspired by a late friend of the band, the aptly named opener "Heavenward" is so gorgeous that it's tempting to want Wolf Alice to concentrate on this side of their music in the future. Similarly, "Planet Hunter" and "St. Purple & Green" are potent reminders of just how well the band does huge moments, while Ellie Roswell's whispers bring intimacy to love's euphoric beginnings on "Don't Delete the Kisses" and its rocky end on "Sky Musings." A reflection of a young band trying out all its possibilities, Visions of a Life is more scattered than My Love Is Cool, but its best songs hint at even more potential. ~ Heather Phares

グランジ回帰ブームに乗りながらも一定のスタイルに囚われない多彩な楽曲が支持され、2015年の初作で一気にスターの仲間入りを果たしたUKの4人組。そんなアプローチがこの2作目ではより大胆に。トラッド・フォークやエレポップ、ハード・ロック……と、とても同じバンドとは思えない曲調の幅広さに呼応し、ますます奔放になった紅一点エリー・ロウゼルの歌声が唯一無二と言えるほど強烈なインパクトを与えてくれる。
