"Wraith" is a song from indie rock quartet Peace. The track was released in the United Kingdom on 13 January 2013 as the lead single from the band's debut studio album, In Love. "Wraith" was written by the band's front-man Harrison Koisser, having been produced by Jim Abbiss (Arctic Monkeys, Adele).
Sian Rowe of NME reviewed the track positively, publishing: ""Wraith is about falling in love with a prostitute", says Peace frontman, Harrison Koisser on his band’s new single. "But not really a prostitute and not really falling in love" he adds, confusingly. Whichever it is, thanks to the lyrics "blow me like a floating feather" Peace can add 'love a good blow job reference' to their rock CV."
For the chart week dated 26 January 2013, "Wraith" debuted at number seventy-five on the UK Singles Chart—marking the band's first chart appearance.
