Remi Wolf is the kind of artist you hear once and then go looking for. The Palo Alto singer-songwriter, who also plays drums, sat down with host Raina Douris at WXPN in Philadelphia on September 28, 2026, for a World Cafe session, alternating interview segments with live versions of “Bottle,” “Champagne,” “I Won’t Cry,” and “Twiggy.”
Their debut album Reading, Writing, Arithmetic (1990) remains a near-perfect encapsulation of that moment. The album arrived without bombast but instantly charmed critics and listeners alike with its poetic melancholy, pristine guitar work, and Wheeler’s spellbinding vocals
She came out in 2006 with a self-titled debut which hit number one in the UK and produced “Put Your Records On” and “Like A Star” for the world. That record has gone four times platinum. It would have been so easy to spend 20 years in the studio refining that very sunny sound. She’s gone the other way really.
