Summary
THREE albums in and south London's Patrick Wolf is fast attaining cult status. A heavily styled, classically trained, highly camp version of Brian Wilson, Wolf plays piano, viola, harmonium and a slew of fascinating instruments to create a self-contained world which incorporates pop, folk, classical and an undercurrent of genuine weirdness. When he's good, as on the fabulous title track, he's an inspiring force of nature. When Marianne Faithfull joins him on the stately Magpie they sound made for each other.
Yet, the overwrought relentlessness and lyrical self-pity becomes wearing after a time and there's a touch too much stodge to suggest greatness.See the full content of this document
