Wolf Alice – Moaning Lisa Smile

One of the harder tracks we’ve reviewed, indie rockers Wolf Alice certainly delivered with their 2014 release “Moaning Lisa Smile”. This is definitely the kind of song you’d find in an intense part of an indie film, or what would be playing in certain parts of Seattle (yet it’s not enough to be considered ‘grunge’). Not quite ‘rock’ enough to be played on 93X, yet not quite ‘pop’ enough to be played on KDWB, Wolf Alice have found their niche at 89.3 The Current, this song being played what seems like every day, and it’s a pleasure to listen to whenever it happens to come on – there isn’t a certain situation in which it would be particularly ‘good’ or ‘bad’ – it’s just great. Whenever. Wherever.
