Wolventrix

“Emotionally raw lyrics. Immense choruses. Turbulent indie-rockers Wolventrix are definitely ones to watch.” — NME.

Formed in Oxford and now based in London, Wolventrix began as a five-piece, known for their sweeping arrangements, poetic lyricism, and emotionally charged songwriting. Their debut The Berlin EP (2009) was recorded with Berlin-based producer Arnold Kasar (Atomhockey, Nylon, Friedrich Liechtenstein), followed by the critically praised full-length Ours Till Dawn (2011), produced in Vienna by Victor Gangl. Their sound draws on the timeless influence of artists like Bob Dylan, Simon & Garfunkel, early Radiohead and Suede, blending classic songwriting craft with the dramatic flair of modern indie.

Tom Walkden’s ability to tell stories through song has remained a defining feature of the band — intimate, literate, and often laced with quiet devastation. His lyrics explore love, loss, and memory with a rare balance of vulnerability and restraint.

Though Wolventrix haven’t released new material for over a decade, they never stopped writing. Throughout the years, the band continued to compose and develop songs in the background, even as life events — careers, families, relocations — pulled them away from the spotlight. That long creative undercurrent now rises to the surface.

Along the way, the band explored collaborations with Austrian electronic producer Peter Zirbs and, notably, with Boz Boorer — longtime co-writer and musical director for Morrissey. Tom Walkden appears as guest vocalist and lyricist on Boorer’s cinematic track “More Alexandria Than Rome”, where his distinctive voice finds a new setting in lush, noir-inspired instrumentation.

In early 2026, Wolventrix return to the studio with new material. Stripped back to a duo, they enter a new chapter — leaner, more focused, and still driven by the poetic and emotional force that has always defined their music. More details soon.
