The track comes on the heels of Wolf Alice playing their biggest show to date at London’s Finsbury Park, where they were joined by The Last Dinner Party, Lykke Li, Rachel Chinouriri, Keo, and Florence Road.
Now, they have released a cover of The Roches’ ‘Hammond Song’, in which they enlist Sunflower Bean’s Julia Cumming and Bria Salmena for a collaboration.
Wolf Alice have released ‘Gospel Oak’ from a new set of ‘The Clearing’ B-sides and announced their Finsbury Park stage times for this weekend.
‘Gospel Oak’ is the first of three songs from a new 7” B-sides package, with ‘Hammond Song’ and ‘Hit The Sky’ set to be released digitally over the coming weeks. The three tracks will get a physical release on August 21, on the first anniversary of ‘The Clearing’.
The release of ‘Gospel Oak’ comes just days ahead of their huge homecoming show at Finsbury Park this Sunday (July 5), where they will be joined by The Last Dinner Party, Lykke Li, Rachel Chinouriri, Keo and Florence Road.
Taking its name from the North London area just up the road from Finsbury Park, ‘Gospel Oak’ is a delicate, piano-led number that was inspired by folk songs and songs “we all learn at school”, according to frontwoman Ellie Rowsell.

The band have said of the three-track release: “These are a few songs we made during ‘The Clearing’ that didn’t make it on the final record, but are ones we love very much, including a cover with two of our fave singers Julia Cumming and Bria Salmena – we’re happy to have found a home for them for you to hear. Enjoy.”
