Remi Wolf’s “Twiggy” Steps Away From Glitch Pop Into Country

Remi Wolf hasn’t released solo music since Soup dropped two years ago. In the interim, she’s stayed visible—a Thundercat collaboration, appearances with Hayley Williams at Bonnaroo and Newport Folk—but nothing that pushed her own work forward until now. “Twiggy,” debuted live at Newport last weekend, is officially out today, and it marks a quiet but noticeable shift.

Produced with frequent collaborators Solomonophonic, Paul Cherry, Jamie McLaughlin, and Jack DeMeo, the track leaves behind the glitch-laced avant-pop she’s known for and leans into country textures. The pivot isn’t cosmetic. After years of constant touring, Wolf slowed down and took a writing retreat in Big Bear, where she described the aim as being “emo as fuck” and letting the songs get more honest. The result is a single where the details—freckles, substance dependence, mommy issues—are laid out without deflection.

The production stays balanced, even when the final third escalates like an argument cutting too close. Words sharpen into weapons, but the arrangement refuses to let the pain become theatrical. It’s a controlled rawness that feels like trust, not spectacle. The video, with its Uggs, mud wrestling, and models drifting through woods, offsets the weight without mocking it.

“Twiggy” doesn’t announce a full artistic reinvention. It’s a narrower, more personal lane, chosen at a moment when Wolf could have easily repeated herself. That alone makes it worth noticing.
