One of the freshest and most inspiring musicians I've had the pleasure of listening to. Especially as he's based in the UK, also! Four albums under his belt, each with a very different style about them, from the solid beats and stripped nature of "Lycanthropy", up to the now more electro-disco and industrial inspired "The Bachelor". On top of that, he plays almost every instrument on his albums himself, and even alternates live. "Lycanthropy" is hailed as a piece of musical genius from the British music scene, but personally, I enjoy "Wind In The Wires" and "The Magic Position" more.
"To The Lighthouse", from the Lycanthropy album.
"Wind In The Wires", from the Wind In The Wires album.
"Accident & Emergency", from The Magic Position album. |

Absolute brilliant, I love Lycanthropy and The Magic Position. Really looking forward to The Conqueror as well :) He has an amazing voice. |

I'm quite intrigued for The Conqueror, especially as The Bachelor left kind of an open ground for me... I digged The Magic Position, but I think the new album was a bit too "out there", even by his own standards, for myself to take at once. It still hasn't grown on me so much... but apparantly the part two album is quite different, so I shall wait for that one!
On top of the music as well, I should also mention I adore his general style and eccentricity :3 |

But yeah, also The Conqueror was and is being recorded near my house :) Although, I do love Hard Times from The Bachelor. The violins in it are brilliant, and the guitars. But yeah, that's probebly my favorite song of his. |

Favourite song is hard to pick for me I reckon! From Lycanthropy, it's probably "Wolf Song" or "To The Lighthouse". Wind In The Wires, it's the title track, or "Tristan". I love that song a lot, it was one of the first Wolf songs I heard. The Magic Position, I love front to back, but "Accident & Emergency", "Bluebells", and even the opener "Overture" are all excellent tracks. From the new album, I think "Vulture" and "Oblivion" are maybe the two I like the most...
Overall favourite though, it's hard to pick, it would like be something off Wind In The Wires though I reckon. |
