Patrick Wolf is a man who is as sexual and creative as his music. He is a man who becomes his music. Or perhaps his music becomes him. Either way, the first single off the up and coming "The Bachelor" indicates a step away from the whimsical violins, firey red hair and playful circus of "The Magic Position".
"Vulture" is dark, sexual and electric; a song of prey.
The lyrics sound as though he's had to learn some serious lessons about life on a record label; and the video looks as though he's channelled this negative energy into fueling his sexual fire. If this is anything to go by, his characters are going to be darker, hungrier, and represent a definite coming of age.
Fingers crossed this bird comes to Australia in 2009. Because if "The Vulture" is anything to go by, there is some amazing custom couture to look forward to.
