I have written at length this year about my excitement about women dominating the rock scene. Well, I have been away from the blog for a few weeks but in that time period I discovered a new band that has released my favorite album of the year--Wolf Alice. They are British and one of the most original bands I have heard in some time. I won't even try to describe their sound, instead you can listen for yourself.

I ordered the vinyl and when I got my MP3 download on release day my love for the band continued to rise.
Seriously this Wolf Alice album is amazing. I have been waiting years for a band like this. @wolfalicemusic

I then bought their first two EP's on Amazon, which are also incredible. Wolf Alice also has a number of otherwise unreleased tracks on Soundcloud that I just discovered this morning. This is the first band I have discovered in awhile that I am putting great effort into finding EVERY song they have ever released (while this is their debut album, they have been playing for almost 5 years). You can preview all of the band's releases on their Soundcloud page, and this is the single song I think that best displays the band's sound:And then here is my favorite song from the band, "Your Love's Whore", as a part of their Glastonbury Festival appearance last month:
