Patrick Wolf - Nowhere Game My, there's a name from all our pasts. Wolf's eclectic, questing journey through literary folktronics to gothic chamber to brief electropop outlier to industrial folk made him a singular, compelling force, and you kind of feel would do so even more today now we have a handle on enigmas, genre hopping and dramatic queer-coded flourishes. Except legal issues and burnout intervened, he disappeared just as an age that might have elevated him approached and he's proven less of an influence as a result than some once imagined, it now coming up for twelve years since his last album of new songs. And this isn't from one either, The Night Safari EP out on April 14th, but it's something new, reminding us of his core strengths of keening strings, electronic beats and darkly swooning, rousing melody.
