Patrick Wolf


First of all... Merry Christmas everyone!
Now that that's out of the way I'll get onto business. I decided that despite Patrick Wolf being relatively common knowledge, now would be a good time to post about him due to an upcoming album release and an amazing new track.
To this date he has released two albums of brilliant "folktronica" mixing unusual instruments with stomping beats. On the strength of the tracks I have heard so far, his new album, The Magic Position, due on the 26th February should be just as excellent.
Several teaser videocasts have been released which include some interviews and performances. One of these contains new track Augustine that has been forcing me to stretch my vocal chords in a sing-along fashion all week. The chorus is delightfully simple and catchy. An mp3 rip of Augustine can be downloaded from the blog that introduced the track to me: Say What You Wanted To Ask Me.
