New Album ‘Everythinglessness’, out January 16th, 2026
“How am I meant to accept the fact that the thing most likely to kill me in this world is me?”
— Alexander Wolfe, 2025
Acclaimed London-born artist Alexander Wolfe releases “Everythinglessness”, the stark and soul-piercing title-track from his upcoming album of the same name. The single marks the final preview before the full LP lands on the January 16th, and arrives with Wolfe at his most vulnerable and visceral.
Built around a loop of real, panicked breathing taken from a friend’s voice note, “Everythinglessness” captures the precise moment a mind begins to fracture. “It’s the boy’s first panic attack,” Wolfe explains. “The first time something breaks. Your body goes off, your brain can’t keep up… ‘Am I dying?’ ‘Is this a heart attack?’ I remember that moment so clearly. Realising I wasn’t the same as everyone else.”
The song is sparse, just five lines, but nothing more is needed. Wolfe uses space like a scalpel, carving out the sensation of drowning in the invisible. Inspired by a friend’s struggle with depression, the phrase “everythinglessness” came directly from a voice note he sent, in which he tried to articulate the weight of his despair. “It’s not one thing missing,” Wolfe says. “It’s everything. Meaning, weight, future, yourself.”
Written after a period of intense personal reckoning, including time spent in a mental health rehab facility in 2023, his new album ‘Everythinglessness’ is Wolfe’s most emotionally resonant work to date, an album that unpacks what it means to be a man in a society that often demands silence and stoicism instead of softness and support.
Wolfe explains: “There’s a crisis around masculinity at the moment, you see it played out by grifters like Andrew Tate and Tommy Robinson. I believe the way through isn’t by hardening, but softening. We need more examples of soft, strong men.”
Wolfe’s voice channels the emotional resonance of Guy Garvey and Nick Cave, while his songwriting explores everything from grief and generational trauma to love, loss and survival.
This new album cycle began with “Talk”, a stirring single released earlier this year that wrestled with the harrowing fact that suicide is the leading cause of death for men under 50 in the UK. Described as a “call to arms for lads to open up”, the track received widespread praise for its emotive weight and Wolfe’s rare ability to transform anguish into art.
“Just talk. To each other, to therapists, to the old lady on the bus. We have to break the shame. We need to stop seeing vulnerability as weakness.” — Alexander Wolfe
Followed by the AA side singles “The Toughening”, a reflection of a young boy wrestling with his father’s rigid ideals, “man up, don’t show weakness”, and “The Softening” which offers resolution and healing, where the protagonist redefines strength on his own terms. As Wolfe says, “They’re bookends. Two sides of the same coin. It’s about becoming the kind of man you choose to be — not the one you’re told to be.”
And most recent single, the emotionally charged “To Feel Love”, which he explains is “a song about escapism. Escaping from your problems and boredom by going out and getting wasted, a trap I have certainly fallen into myself. It’s about that endless search for love and excitement and how it can lead you astray."
Raised in 1990s Woolwich, Wolfe has always been a chronicler of modern British life, blending observational grit with emotional depth. His ability to turn personal trauma into musical therapy has made him a cult favourite among those drawn to raw, unvarnished storytelling.
On ‘Everythinglessness’, Wolfe blends analogue textures, layered harmonies, and stark piano lines into a record that is as cinematic as it is intimate. Each track feels like a chapter in a coming-of-age story, delivering a journey through boyhood, masculinity, mental illness, grief, and ultimately, acceptance.
From the premature death of a parent to the slow unravelling of a relationship, Wolfe’s work carries us through the heavy moments that often go unspoken; particularly for young men. But in that silence, Wolfe has found a voice. One that does not shout, but speaks with clarity, empathy and truth.
