Sis and the Lower Wisdom's unique release, “Wolf Child,” is the second single from their upcoming "SAINTS AND ALIENS" album, wherein mysticism, tenderness, and incredibly refined instincts converge into something all their own. The song shuffles forward with a hushed sense of magnetic pull, rich, thrilling alternative pop woven with the tranquil expansiveness of spiritual jazz, beckoning listeners into an atmosphere at once intimate and otherworldly.
“Wolf Child” is one of those songs that exudes a warm sensitivity, felt, maybe, in Dido’s soft-edged glow, but whose emotional core pulsates with hushed, soulful proximity, like Rhye at its most fragile. There’s also a reflective intelligence at work, a lyricism that gently tips a hand to Joni Mitchell's storytelling depth without ever resting on imitation. Instead, Sis and the Lower Wisdom bend these influences into a palette that feels organic and peculiar.
A track’s breathing is what jumps out most. And rather than building toward a single, climactic revelation, “Wolf Child” unfolds naturally in layers that swirl around one another like thoughts taking shape or long-buried recollections being dislodged. Its melodies float with a dreamlike clarity, tethered by an aura of soul-seeking that mirrors the band’s deeper thematic world, one where earthly frailty and cosmic curiosity coexist.
As a taste of "SAINTS AND ALIENS", “Wolf Child” suggests an album out to erase lines between the physical and the transcendent, between the familiar or fantastical, the whispered and undeniably felt. It’s a song to brood over long after it fades out, not because it requires that attention, but because it activates something calm and primal, wolfish, wise, and profoundly human.
