Remi Wolf has returned with another technicolored psych-pop track called “Liquor Store.” The pleasantly dizzying single comes with an equally loud music video, featuring 90s claymation on acid. From her soulful, raspy vocals to complex songwriting, Wolf’s world is always a joy to get lost in. “Liquor Store” still inhabits that vibrant world with a darker undertone of self-examination.

Wolf commented that, “‘‘Liquor Store’ feels like I am shedding a skin. It’s about my journey with sobriety, which has been a major life shift for me over the last year. At the end of 2020, after six months away from the studio, I had a crazy explosive week where all these feelings came pouring out of me—‘Liquor Store’ captures a lot of them. It’s my first baby of the bunch and I hope you love it.”

Watch the video below, which arrives ahead of Wolf’s debut album dropping later this year.
