Patrick Wolf - Crying The Neck (new album)

[jivafox]

New album out in April.

Lots of old waffle about the album here:



The first single “Dies Irae” is a stunner though:

 

[Finn]

TERRIFIC NEWS. And, on first play, a great comeback.

Mad that this is his first studio album in 13 years. I hope he's doing well personally, too.

Calling @Suedehead

 

[Shoat]

Lovely artwork. Very Theresa May.

Dies Irae obviously a banger

 

[FetchFugly]

A welcome return. BIG STRINGS

The boy who took my virginity LOVED PATRICK WOLF!

The boy who took my virginity LOVED PATRICK WOLF!

Would you say he put you in the magic position?

LOVE "Dies Irae", going to be a really strong comeback album if the rest is as good.

Sad to read of his struggles over the years, hoping he's in a better place mentally these days.

Omg what kinda blast from the past! 'The Childcatcher' blew my mind back in the day, and I had the first three albums on constant loop at one stage during uni. I remember being sure 'The Magic Position' was gonna be a massive hit but I must've given it some sorta spicey kiss of death. And then I just kinda lost interest and thereafter forgot that he even existed. :/

Is there anything in particular worth investigating from the last three records? Aside from the aforementioned, I vaguely recall loving 'Bloodbeat', 'The Libertine', 'Augustine', 'Paris', 'Tristan' looking at the early tracklists. More of that plz.

Anyway, I like 'Dies Irae' and am all ears for this comeback which aligns perfectly with my current era of embracing relics from life's annals.

Lovely new song from the album:

 

[FetchFugly]

Their voices work together very well.

 

[Suedehead]

Love the new material

 

[jivafox]

Loving this new song.

And the video. When did he turn into a bit of a twunk?

 

[Sardonicus]

Halfway through listening to this album for the first time. So far it's giving 2000s-esque alternative anthems put through a New Romantic 80s filter. I'm getting hints of ABC & LLOYD COLE - no bad thing. A strong comeback so far, favourite track midway through - "Reculver"

 

[jivafox]

Yeah the album is great! I wasn’t a fan of the “Night Safari” EP so my expectations were a bit dampened but I am loving the sounds here.

 

[hyperwoof]

I've always wondered how he feeds himself - he never sells anything - does he have a rich 'uncle' David? Perhaps 'uncle' David coo's soothing waveforms when Patrick gets frightened by fireworks?

 

[Sardonicus]

Pat's new single The Beast is out & it's rather good:

 

[jivafox]

Very enjoyable tour poster

Very much looking forward to Pat's new album with these promising first 2 singles.
