Wolf People Ruins

Wolf People, the English folk-prog outfit are back with their third LP for Jagjaguwar. If you’ve listened to them before, you’ll know this song isn’t coming to come out of the speaker all nice and breezy. Its going to leave a mark, the good kind. Here’s some more info on the album from their press release.

Ruins is their new album, and its over-riding theme is that of nature reclaiming the land. The transcendence of life over politics, plants over people. It asks: where are we going and what comes next? If culture is history’s narration, then Wolf People are custodians and conduits; electrified sages, if you will. Through them runs a time-line of a nation rising from bloody glory to existentialist confusion. Yet within Ruins, their album proper, lies a spirit of hope too, it is a reminder that society is no match for the mighty power of music and nature working in perfect symbiosis. Wolf People are time travellers, their tools mythology, history, hauntology, big riffs, bigger beats, electricity.
