Creature Songs by Wolf Alice
Creature Songs is an EP by Wolf Alice, released in 2014. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 20 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Moaning Lisa Smile”, on 20 lists with a best position of #12.
Creature Songs, Wolf Alice's follow-up to the Blush EP, came out on Dirty Hit on 26 May 2014, with Catherine Marks producing. By then the London band had grown from the acoustic duo of singer Ellie Rowsell and guitarist Joff Oddie into a full four-piece with Joel Amey on drums and Theo Ellis on bass, and you can hear the extra muscle.
The big one is "Moaning Lisa Smile", which the band first put up on their SoundCloud page ahead of the EP, all sneer and loud-quiet lurch. It later landed on their debut album, My Love Is Cool, reached number 9 on the US alternative chart and earned a Grammy nomination for Best Rock Performance, a lot of mileage for a song that started life on an EP.
