This afternoon (September 8), Oddie posted on the band’s official Facebook page: “Hey Joff here. Just wanted to let you all know I won’t be joining the guys on our North American tour as I’m awaiting the birth of my first baby. I’m sad I won’t be with you but I’ll be leaving you in the capable hands of John Victor who is one of my fav all time guitarists and a lovely man to boot.”

Last month, NME gave ‘The Clearing’ a five-star review, saying: “Just as we all (hopefully) get older and wiser with every year, Wolf Alice are the kind of band that keep on getting better with every record, and here, they raise the bar on themselves once again.”
Recently, the band performed a cover of Olivia Dean’s ‘Nice To Each Other’ in the BBC Radio One Live Lounge.
