Patrick Wolf
Acoustic guitars replenish the soul. Patrick Wolf shows how with this hauntingly beautiful live session. Check it out right here.
Patrick Wolf 'Xfm Session' [Dial-Up] [Broadband]
Armed with only an acoustic guitar (oh, and an accordion), Patrick Wolf gets back to basics, showing 'simple yet effective' is the principle by which we should live our lives. Sounding decidedly Buckley-esque, Wolf takes his lead from diverse acts from Kate Bush to Nick Cave and, at only 21, challenges the notion of age before beauty.
Wolf plays a stunning selection from his new 'Wind In The Wires' [Dial-Up] [Broadband] album which was written from the inspirational heights of a cliff-top in Cornwall. The title track, 'Wind In The Wires' echoes the effect such surroundings can have on a song-writer. 'Gypsy King' [Dial-Up] [Broadband] confirms the perfectly-balanced relationship between his voice and his guitar and must be the only song that celebrates the Ukelele with such zest, while 'Lands End' [Dial-Up] [Broadband] makes you want to join him in 'leaving London for Lands End, with a green tent and a violin'.
'Ghost Song' [Dial-Up] [Broadband] adds a more sinister dimension, the safety of the guitar being subsituted for the unearthly accordion. Fortunately though 'Godrevy' [Dial-Up] [Broadband] returns us to safety and, well, the unadulterated beauty of melodious purity meeting lyrical genius.
