It has been revealed that Wolf Alice singer Ellie Rowsell has composed the music for a new short film titled HERMIT, starring Emma Corrin.
The actor shared a photo of the film’s poster in a new Instagram post. The caption reveals that HERMIT will have its world premiere on the opening night of the London Film Festival. It will screen on 9 October at 8:45pm at the BFI Southbank as part of the Trials & Tribulations programme. Tickets for the screening can be purchased here from 17 September.
The caption also mentions all the producers, hair and makeup artists who worked on the film. Rowsell was credited for her work on all of the film’s music.
Wolf Alice’s last release was 2021’s “Blue Weekend.” In a five-star review of the LP, ZikNation “What goes up must come down, after all, but Wolf Alice show no signs of going backwards any time soon. ‘Blue Weekend’ is another icy masterpiece that further cements their place at the top of British music. Let’s hope they stay there for a long time to come.”
The album marked the end of the BRIT Award-winning band’s three-album deal with Dirty Hit, and they confirmed earlier this year that they had signed a new deal with Columbia.
Things have been quiet for Wolf Alice lately, but their 2017 song ‘Don’t Delete The Kisses’ made an appearance on the soundtrack to The Boys spin-off Gen V earlier this year. They are reportedly currently working on their fourth album.
Last May, the band returned to their breakthrough EP ‘Creature Songs’ – 10 years after its initial release.
“10 years ago we released our EP ‘Creature Songs’ with Dirty Hit. We recorded it at ICP Studios in Brussels with our queen Catherine Marks,” the band wrote, sharing an update on X/Twitter.
“We were just four baby rats who liked to quote The Simpsons, Liquorice Rizzla, Big Muff Pedals and this Vines song that I can’t remember the name of but made my Doc Martens dance,” they added. “It was a good time.”
