Goddamn Wolves have always thrived in the tension between melody and abrasion, and their new single “Sugar Twin” sharpens that balance with confidence and clarity. Hailing from Raleigh, North Carolina, the indie rock outfit continues to honor the spirit of classic alternative while pushing their sound forward, and this track feels like a meaningful step in that evolution.
“Sugar Twin” marks the third release with bassist Laura McCullough stepping into the lead vocal and songwriting role, and her presence anchors the song with a calm authority. Her vocal delivery is understated but emotionally loaded, giving the track a conversational intimacy that pulls you in rather than demanding attention. There’s a natural push-and-pull between sweetness and grit here, a dynamic the band navigates effortlessly.
The single's instrumentals get a boost from new energy. New guitarist Jon Trexler makes an immediate impact, adding texture and bite without overcrowding the arrangement. The guitars feel lean and purposeful, locking in tightly with the rhythm section to create a sound that’s both familiar and forward-facing. “Sugar Twin” wins through restraint, cohesion, and confidence. It’s a track that feels lived-in, modern, and unmistakably Goddamn Wolves, signaling a band that knows exactly who they are and where they’re headed next.
