Wolf Alice’s forthcoming album, The Clearing, set to be released on Aug. 22, is one of the most highly-anticipated releases of the season. The band gave fans one more reason to be excited as they shared the video for the brand new song “The Sofa.”
“It’s about not trying so hard to figure everything out, reflecting on getting older and trying not to agonize over things that have or haven’t happened in your life. It’s also about trying to get to grips with the polarizing aspects of one’s life when you’re in a band. You’ve just played a huge tour – and you come home, and you have your dinner on the sofa. For me, it’s summed up in how I treat TV. I used to never watch the same thing twice because I thought I’ve got so much to discover! And now I’m like, It’s okay if I just want to rewatch Peep Show for the thirteenth time,” said vocalist Ellie Rowsell in a statement.
The video, which can be seen above, was directed by Fiona Jane Burgess and features easter eggs for the band’s upcoming album.
