When a band does not release a new album or appear live for more than five years, it is generally assumed that the band has disbanded. DEAR WOLF has always been around; they just took longer to give a sign of life in the form of a new record. Gone are the days when MTV and VIVA offered rock bands from the alternative scene a chance to make it onto the playlists.
Promotion works differently now. That it’s not always about commercial success is proven by DEAR WOLF with this, their new album. It is music played by musicians who understand their craft and have remained true to themselves.
The band presents eleven songs. It is quieter alternative rock. Music that you can also hear in the café next door. Rock that still doesn’t belong to the soft rock category. Ambitious rock music for those who prefer the quieter tones. The songs are refined, the melodies well thought out. The guitar playing feels almost delicate, as if the guitarist is afraid of giving the songs too much pressure with his playing. It is almost exclusively the vocals that give the songs some of the rawness and sincerity that are important to distance themselves from soft rock bands. It is music that one is more accustomed to hearing from England or the USA, but it comes from Germany.
The songs by DEAR WOLF get under your skin. That is what music must achieve to be noticed and respected. It must touch you. DEAR WOLF has made a comeback with this album, which deserves attention in the alternative scene.
