 to access audio and video on collective you need real player.Pretty boy singer/songwriter invents the gothic pastoral. Assailed by ennui, Patrick Wolf left London and his acclaimed debut album, Lycanthropy, behind him to record Wind In The Wires in wind-lashed seclusion in Cornwall. The result is a crushed velvet sprawl which sounds like Jacques Brel serenading a laptop on the Titanic. Screeching computer bleeps and wild gypsy violin meld with Bohemian abandon on shaggy dog story The Gypsy King, while Wolf hits a folktronic high on the sprawling finale Lands End. A few tunes short of a masterpiece, perhaps, but well worth the long trip west. Patrick Wolf - Wind In The Wires, released 21 February 05 on Tomlab.
