Wolf Alice have released ‘Hit The Sky’, the last song in their run of B-sides from The Clearing, according to NME.
The track is the third and final song on The Clearing: B Sides, following the piano-led ‘Gospel Oak’ and the band’s cover of The Roches’ ‘Hammond Song’, which featured Sunflower Bean’s Julia Cumming and Bria Salmena.
NME reports that ‘Hit The Sky’ is a stomping folk-rock song with fiddle played by James Gavin and backing vocals from Cumming. The band originally recorded it as a demo during the The Clearing sessions, then returned to finish it a year later.
Frontwoman Ellie Rowsell said the song is about encouraging someone you love to be themselves because you can see how wonderful they are. The full B-sides collection is available digitally now, with a physical seven-inch release due on Friday, August 21.
Wolf Alice first played ‘Hit The Sky’ live at the Royal Albert Hall in March during the Teenage Cancer Trust concert series, where they also performed ‘Gospel Oak’.
