The first part of the bookending epic “The Beach” announces Wolf Alice’s ambition to the deliver something new and profound. This Macbeth-quoting dynamic-bending song speaks of the late-20s anxiety of keeping friendships above ego. “Fun” fact or slightly-related sidenote: a study from the University of Finland and the University of Oxford shows human friendships start to deteriorate at the 25-years mark. The second part “The Beach II” explores the same themes but under a more optimistic lens.
