Patrick Wolf - Lupercalia

Patrick Wolf has succeeded in a rare feat, producing on his new album Lupercalia two songs that I'll listen to for the rest of my life.

Since its single release earlier in the year, The City has been an essential component in my weekend preparations, at once an upbeat anthem and an emotional appeal.

Now I have Armistice to carry me through my contemplative times - a genuinely astonishing, subtle yet soaring anthem for anyone who ever felt alone.

Singles Round Up: Patrick Wolf - The City

After a bumper crop of singles last time round, this week looks a little thin by comparison. There are still one or two gems out there though.

Patrick Wolf - The City
Bobble: This song gets better every time I hear it. It's sweet and simple, with really strong music and vocals. I don't think it's just the title that makes me think of Iglu & Hartly's In This City - both are uplifting and anthemic, optimistic messages of hope and happiness that could apply to any one of us. This is a song to be used, either to keep you in a good mood or to banish a bad one - or just to belt out in the car on the drive to the beach. Bring on summer!
