Description
With his 7th album, Crying The Neck, 41-year-old multi-instrumentalist and composer Patrick Wolf crafted a confident, uplifting, and hopeful record. Inspired by the transformative power of grief after his mother's passing, folklore, the Kentish landscape, and the state of England, this album features guest appearances from long - term friends Zola Jesus, Serafina Steer, and Seb Rochford. It's the first in a planned four - album series, written and recorded in Patrick's current home, a Kent coastal town. In 2025, alongside the album release, a BFI - funded feature - length documentary about his life will also come out. Patrick, well - known for blending electronic sampling with classical instruments, has built a strong fan base across his first six albums. This CD edition includes three 'instrumental' versions hand - picked by Patrick. Works like The Curfew Bell and Lughnasa, composed and recorded in complex time signatures and keys, and the backing for Foreland, a duet between two string quartets, add a unique touch to the album.
