ABOUT THE SINGLE:
Two Wolves a richly melodic folk rock track that weaves together intimate storytelling with layered harmonies and intricate instrumentation. Born from the ache and hope of a long-distance relationship, the song balances raw vulnerability with soaring musicality. Featuring standout harmonica work and lush vocal arrangements reminiscent of Fleet Foxes, it blends the introspective warmth of The Tallest Man on Earth with the emotional edge of early Oasis. A heartfelt, finely crafted tune that lingers long after it ends.
