Heavenward

"Heavenward" is a song by English alternative rock band Wolf Alice from their second studio album, Visions of a Life.

In a track by track breakdown for Consequence of Sound, drummer Joel Amey said:[1] "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.

I won't reveal how he gets the sound, but so far some people we've shown it to have said it's a saxophone or a set of distorted bagpipes which should give you an indication of the way Joff approaches the guitar!

""Heavenward" premiered on Zane Lowe's Beats 1 radio show, and subsequently released for digital download and streaming.

"[6] Varsity said the song "sounds like a continuation of their debut, with dreamy melodies emerging out of a shoegaze wall of fuzzy feedback and dissonant guitars.
