New Patrick Wolf

In his Official Blog, Patrick Wolf writes (albeit not very coherently) about his fourth-coming album:

i have to tell you, i have two albums coming out soon…. think, smashing pumpkins, kate bush, im going double, double, trouble, thats why im taking so long, one disk is heartbroken and in deep dispair, one is in deep dark joy dedicated to my new love, my old and forever love, william the conqueror, ok….. i better leave, my irish cousins are begging for a go on the intranet…. i just realised its been an age and a half since i communicated, the album has been in my blood for a year and much more…. the label think it will be a disaster, im sure, as it comes more from the bottom of my heart than even lycanthropy, about my fathers cancer, my solitude, my true love, my irish roots, everything that has touched me to the core in the last year…. ok, im rambling i must go…. i hAVE been told by my relative that i must go…………… oh shut me the fuck up……….

A double disc record, by the looks of it- one happy, one sad? Smashing Pumpkins and Kate Bush? This sounds a lot more like his earlier stuff than the more recent pop-tastic coloured-ribbon fest that was The Magic Position. Only time will tell, I suppose, but if there’s even one track on the new album that’s half as wonderful as this one, I’ll be a happy hack.
