Product Description
CD Description
The critically acclaimed LYCANTHROPY announced the arrival of a prodigious talent in young Irish multi-instrumentalist/singer/songwriter Patrick Wolf. WIND IN THE WIRES, Wolf's sophomore release, builds on its predecessor by ratcheting up the quality and intensity of the songwriting. Wolf takes cues from the swirling gothic drama of Nick Cave, the dark-yet-danceable vibe of early-1980s acts like Echo & the Bunnymen and New Order, the lyrical confessionalism of Leonard Cohen,and the programmed intricacies of contemporary electronica.Yet while the influences are easy to identify, they are synthesized here into a unique, highly compelling form of chamber pop.
Wolf produces nearly every sound on WIND IN THE WIRES, playing violin, piano, ukulele, dulcimer, Farfisa, accordion, synthesizer, guitar, bass, and percussion, among other instruments, in addition to programming and singing. Whether on the driving opener, "The Libertine", with its swooping violin refrain, the cinematic title track, or the tremulous English folk of "Ghost Song", Wolf's consummate craftsmanship and fiery passion are on constant display. Wolf was only21 at the time of this strong album's release; it gives onechills to think of the potential this implies.
