Today's post is dedicated to one of the most beautiful men in the world - Patrick Wolf. For those of you who haven't been introduced - you are missing out on a lot.
Patrick Wolf released his debut album Lycanthropy at the tender age of 20 (which makes me feel like a pathetic under-achiever at 19) after immersing himself in music at an even earlier age. He even made his own theremin at age 11 and, like David Bowie, can probably play every instrument under the sun. His soulful, melancholic tones have a haunting sense of yearning that anyone can relate to, whilst still being raw and gutsy enough to not be too miss-ish and pretentious. In his latest album, The Magic Position, Wolf experiments more with pop, with wonderful results, such as the title track (and my current ringtone). He's also amazingly incredible live, as I had the absolute privilege of seeing the man in action at one of my favourite venues, the Corner Hotel, last year in November.
Here are some clips for your viewing pleasure. You'll wonder what you ever did without him.
