WOOF drops new single “LICK!”

Hailing from Chicago, WOOF is walking his own musical path, balancing the fury of post punk grit with a distinctively spiritual vibe. His sound is at once confrontational and reflective, a mirror held up to the shadow self, as much as it is a rallying cry for the misunderstood. Fiercely independent and creatively relentless, WOOF is building a world that embraces contrast and celebrates the beauty of pure emotion.

Making his explosive entrance in April last year with the debut single “Crime,” WOOF immediately asserted his presence with his exciting sound, an amalgamation of guitars, vulnerability and an unshakeable punk ethos. What followed was a string of singles that captured the attention of underground listeners and tastemakers alike, notching up tens of thousands of streams and growing a loyal fanbase along the way.

As a daily practitioner of meditation and spirituality, he folds that inner work into every song he makes. There’s a rawness here, yes, but also a sense of purpose and his message is one of radical self-acceptance, especially for those who feel like outsiders. In WOOF’s universe, there’s power in the shadows, and freedom in being fully, unapologetically and uncompromisingly yourself.

Now he brings us his latest release with his brand new single titled “LICK!,” a track that takes his sonic output further via a bold, sonically engaging piece that laces gritty textures with smoother aesthetic, striking a balance between aggression and finesse. Born from a sonic experiment that saw hi layering pulsing guitar riffs with moody, atmospheric backdrops, the song quickly flourished into something more potent and engrossing. “LICK!” is a track that breathes the restless energy of city nights, soaked in the push-pull of chaos and control, wrapped up in an alternative rock sound that blurs post punk and dark wave stylings.

Kicked off with the striking pulse of bass guitar notes and rattling drums, WOOF’s spacey voice enters, tinged with hazy processing as the angular crunch of drifting guitar lines snake alongside his vocal leads. Propelled by a relentless energy of the driving beat and shrouded in a brooding moodiness throughout, the track cut instantly catchy songwriting into an enveloping fabric that’s equally immersive and exhilarating.

Served up in a brisk two minute dose, “LICK!” sees WOOF serve up a truly arresting listening experience that’s entirely original and thoroughly memorable from start to finish. As he continues to build momentum as an exciting, must watch artist with a compelling sound, WOOF is sure to win over fans around the world on his inevitable rise and we can’t wait to see what he’s got in store for the future.
