While the group’s early material was folk-tinged pop, they became more rock-oriented after the rhythm section joined. Generally, the band’s musical style has been described as alternative rock, indie rock, shoegaze, dream pop, folk, grunge, pop, and electronic. Clash described the band as “the lovechild of folk and grunge”. The “Fluffy” single saw the band compared to Elastica and Hole, while the single’s B-side, “White Leather”, saw comparisons to The xx.Kitty Empire, writing in The Observer, described their sound as “an engaging strain of off-kilter indie rock”. The band describe their music as “rocky pop”. The Daily Telegraph declare Wolf Alice’s debut album as ‘feral and sophisticated’ in review.
