    A solid indie rock album without ever catching fire in a spectacular way. Wolf Alice have a nice sound, good vocal style, generally good mix of instrumentation and very cool production but this has some naievety you sometimes get with a debut.

    This is an incredible debut album. Wolf Alice make incredible use of contrasts; they find a niche in sound that opens a direct doorway into the heart. You can't listen to My Love is Cool without completely falling for them. 10/10.

    (75/100) Great album. It contains memorable tracks, good lyrics and something special that every song has in order to give an special meaning and identify with at least one of them. The album is really versatile, it plays with different rhythms and sound in every track. They manage to make an album with unique songs. I think it should be consider one of the best debut rock albums of this decade.

Many bands go trough an entire career without 5 songs as good as these, let alone all 5 being in the same album. I like what I hear from Wolf Alice. Only one question remains: is this their peak?… Expand

    Great debut record. A throwback to mid-90's alternative. Loud guitars and heavy bass sounds and pretty vocals. Standout tracks; Freazy, Bros, Your Loves Whore.

    This is a fantastic debut and one of the best albums of the year so far. So many tracks on here are an absolute blast to listen to, from the phenomenal heavier headbangers (Giant Peach, Fluffy, Moaning Lisa Smile) to the absolutely perfect duo Lisbon and Silk or gorgeous post-rock/grunge blend Swallowtail. The only below-average song would be Freazy, which is kind of forgettable, but theThis is a fantastic debut and one of the best albums of the year so far.

    She balances the scary intensity of someone who thinks "going out and smashing windows" is a cool way to kill time with a no-big-whoop casualness about the musical styles she tries out.

    My Love Is Cool is volatile, but it’s also invigorating, charming, and hugely exciting for what it promises.
