Boy Epic’s name doesn’t lie; his new single is epic alt-pop.

If you remember the buzz around Lorde when she first dropped Royals, you’ll remember that a lot of the hype emerged because of the effortless elegance with which she made pop sound cinematic and grand.

Four years later, Boy Epic has taken the mantle of alt-pop grandeur with new single Wolf, an intoxicating mix of cinematic percussion and emotive vocals. The song explores the dark sides of our minds where complex, raw human emotions like love and lust thrive. The single is equal parts sexy and dangerous, with a haunting piano melody that plays with your mind like a nefarious lullaby.
