About this song
- “Heavenward” is the fourth single from Wolf Alice’s second album. According to a press release, “Heavenward” was penned about the death of a friend. "I feel like “Heavenward” was one of the first ideas we really got to grips with; we have a few demo versions floating around, one of which was made in our manager’s office basement and from which the opening build up noise is lifted. That passage always set such a mood and tone and for me that I couldn’t have imagined it as anything other than the opener. The guitars are so dense and there are so many nuances that we had to think carefully about how the sonics of the other instruments should sit; we wanted to avoid classic ‘radio rock’ drums and keep them almost small in size to really push the walls of guitar noise. It’s a favourite of mine, especially lyrically, but also for Joff’s guitar anti-solo that comes in the middle 8th. I won’t reveal how he gets the sound, but so far some people we’ve shown it to have said its a saxophone or a set of distorted bagpipes which should give you an indication of the way Joff approaches the guitar!” — Joel Amey .
