Goddamn Wolves return with urgency on ‘'Later Than You Think’'

Raleigh-based indie rock trio Goddamn Wolves makes a unique return with their latest single, “Later Than You Think.” This brooding, emotionally charged track signifies both a personal and creative rebirth for the band. It marks the second song written and sung by bassist Laura, capturing a raw sense of introspection and unease that resonates deeply with the current American landscape.

After an extended hiatus from songwriting, Laura steps into the spotlight with renewed vulnerability and purpose. “Playing with Chris and Drew is so inspiring and freeing,” she shares. “This band is the perfect environment for coming up with ideas and feeling completely comfortable to try things and put myself out there.” That sincerity is palpable throughout the track, which blends shimmering guitar textures with an undercurrent of existential tension.

Produced, mixed, and mastered by Max Gowan at Found After Dark in Raleigh, “Later Than You Think” delivers a polished yet emotionally intimate sound. The track embraces indie rock’s reflective tendencies, while also exuding a persistent urgency that keeps it firmly rooted in the present. Whether it's the layered guitar lines or Laura’s evocative vocals, the song invites listeners to confront discomfort, both personal and collective.

“Later Than You Think” addresses the anxieties of modern life. It echoes the pervasive uncertainty felt by many Americans today, capturing the sense that something important, whether time, hope, or connection, might be slipping through our fingers.

With this release, Goddamn Wolves reestablish their position in the indie rock scene, not just as talented musicians but as storytellers unafraid to explore profound themes. “Later Than You Think” feels more than just a song; it serves as a statement, a mirror, and perhaps even a warning. Fans of thoughtful, emotionally rich rock will find much to admire here. If this track is any indication, Goddamn Wolves are far from finished howling.
