Amazing first album. Optimal conditions, beautiful artwork... It's one of those records which are contemporary classics. And it is running out of stock, so soon it is going to be a jewel!
Enter a child's world where there is just as many shadows and evil do-ers as in the real world. However in Patrick Wolf's world the innocence is a painterly landscape full of poetry and flowing sounds.
It's easy to become seduced by the whimsical approach to the song-writing - the songs work at building a world which sounds as tiny and secure as a child's bed to the sounds of roaming wolves and the dark outside world!
This album - is incredible in it's breadth of sounds - it is so well produced and given so much light and shade in it's render.
Experience a pop experimenter who always seems painfully honest in every chord sung.
This album sounds like it was made by Kate Bush's youngest brother - inspiring and lyrical!
