I think he's brilliant. Lycanthropy is twisted beauty.

Here is a radio interview I did with him a while ago: http://www.sr.se/p3/diverse/appdata/pop/sounds/popB.ram
(the Wolf part starts after app. 20 minutes). (It is only online until Monday so hurry if you are interested. Oh, and some of it is in Swedish. But it should make pretty good sense nontheless.)

I've just come back from a show, where the PA blew up (kinda) and he kept playing. My respect for him has grown.. and I didn't realised he played the viola! another reason why I'm more convinced about his songs.

The first time I saw him he seemed really uncomfortable at the gig, but this time round he seemed much happier, even when the power went. I expected a more electronicy sound from what I've read, but he didn't have his laptop with him.. so it was just very acoustic, and quite beautiful

Wind In The Wires is very superb isn't it? Teignmouth in particular is the vastest and most glorious steely & tearstreaky edge-of-the-world thing everEVER. Maybe this is what the new Kate Bush is/was meant to sound like.

The NME gave him the "big" review (2 pages) this week which was vaguely surprising. And The Libertine was top 67 smash. I think perhaps hurrah, profilewise.

― Alex in Doncaster (Alex in Doncaster), Saturday, 12 February 2005 19:46 (8 years ago) Permalink

i do love the new one, but i still think lycanthropy is better on many levels.

not enough electronics/dance stuff on the new one, however he's stepped up the imagery and thematic elements. also, the pace and tempo on the new one doesn't change enough which leads to not being able to really differentiate the songs. i think "landsend" (the last song) is the best moment on the album.

i also like your kate bush comparison though, i never thought of it that way.

― cutty (mcutt), Saturday, 12 February 2005 20:10 (8 years ago) Permalink

I thought it was less good too, it seemed to have a much narrower scope than the last album at first. But then, I changed my mind. I agree about the imagery and themetic-elements, it's not that it's more dramatic than before, but the drama is more majestic-sweeping-crashing-grandeur-of-nature than the childcatchery stuff of the last album.

This is his rural/pastoral londonescape record, I guess maybe it's Tiger Bay to Lycanthropy's So Tough, or, something. He seems WAY more self-assured and less inclined to shrieky bits too. Which isn't automatically an improvement, because that was great, but I suppose it makes it an easier listen. In terms of coastal magic yay stuff it pisses all over the new British Sea Power which has seemingly been designed to filter out every last fragment of wide-eyed wonder and stuff.

Tristan is industrial-lite pophit in waiting, there isn't anything impenetrable about the album at all, he will be star, now, perhaps.

Just watching a video of a gig on www.fabchannel.com
It's amazing.

I'm still listening to the album. It's probably been the most longterm obsession for an album since my 2 months obsession with Chutes Too Narrow.

― jellybean (jellybean), Thursday, 5 May 2005 10:45 (8 years ago) Permalink

I have decided that maybe Wind In The Wires is missing a lot of I thought made Lycanthropy so fantastic and gleeful, it does feel very much like it was made for Grown Ups and I don't think he necessarily benefits from this. Lycanthropy had the chanting and momentum and the shrieking and things, initially I welcomed their absence from WITW as he seemed to be reining in his petulant self-indulgent bits. Now I think perhaps these bits = the hooks and colour. There are so many tracks on the first album that I go back to again and again because they had moments where they totally soared, WITW has maybe three or four that I eagerly anticipate but I find myself sitting through the rest just to get to these, it is very Medulla-ish in that there seem to be a few really wonderful centrepiece tracks and then lots of little sketchy bits to break them up.

But, I still like it very much, it is ideal for middle of night or similar. And he is still great, very. I think I just want him to go back to making very shiny smeary pop songs, which is what I tend to want everyone to do.

Definitely, there's not a bad track on it but it's the same three or four that I find myself really anticipating and constantly having in my head. The title track being the main one. A lot of my favourite bits are in the little brief sketches between songs as well.

― Fergal (Ferg), Thursday, 5 May 2005 12:56 (8 years ago) Permalink

I actually think it's a lot better than Lycanthropy. And Lycanthropy was fantastic. "The Gypsy King" and "This Weather" in particular are rather stunning and breathtaking and gulp-in-the-throat astonishing.

I went to see him last night, and was amazed by his talent - he really brought the songs on WITW to life and played like a mad flamoyant demonic thing.

The only problem was that I'm starting to think less and less of those songs, which all seem to build up and then go nowhere.

Also: "I've just come back from a show, where the PA blew up (kinda) and he kept playing." -- jellybean (jellybea...), March 4th, 2004.

This happened last night - a year and a bit on!! Sort it out, son! The mix was horrible at last night's gig too (and this is coming from someone who doesn't generally notice these things). Patrick could happily sing WITHOUT his microphone half the time, let alone one cranked up to 11.

I'm all for a bit of melodrama, in the right measure. And let's face it, the subject matter is fairly weighty. But there was something that really grated about his voice last night, and I suspect it was, as i said above, the sheer volume.

Holy Jesus. I was kind of underwhelmed by Lycanthropy after the initial shock wore off, and so I put off listening to Wind in the Wires. And I know it's the obvious pick and has been drooled over already, but "The Libertine" has got to be one of my top ten songs of the decade so far. No, fuck that, top five. Maybe even top three. What I am trying to say is I love this track very much and would like to do unspeakable things to it. DISCO HORSES Y'ALL. Awesome.

― Telephonething (Telephonething), Tuesday, 5 July 2005 04:07 (7 years ago) Permalink

"The Libertine?" Really? It's great, but I prefer "Tristan," "Gypsy King," "This Weather" and maybe one or two others... and "A Boy Like Me" from Lycanthropy is excellent as well.

― The Brainwasher (Twilight), Tuesday, 5 July 2005 05:17 (7 years ago) Permalink

Oh, don't get me wrong- those, and really everything else on the album, are fantastic; it's just that "The Libertine" grabbed me by the crotch and has yet to let go. It's a combination of the hooves/pounding kickdrums/electrical crackling beat and the Edward Gorey by way of Dickens lyrics. "Tristan" is a close second.

― Telephonething (Telephonething), Tuesday, 5 July 2005 05:23 (7 years ago) Permalink

i want to say really nasty things about his looks. but is the music actually that good? i'm afraid yet intrigued so far.

― Susan Douglas (Susan Douglas), Tuesday, 5 July 2005 06:23 (7 years ago) Permalink

I want want want to hear some of his stuff but I'm afraid he will sound too indie w/not enough goff-pop. (The fact that Ned likes it eases my fears, though)

― Curt1s St3ph3ns, Tuesday, 5 July 2005 16:30 (7 years ago) Permalink

Because I have finally got to grips with YSI (and CRUMBS it does seem to take several lifetimes to work, usually) - some Lycanthropy bits:

"Paris": http://s35.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=2DOSD2NE92DCE1GKDV7FKWUUDS

"Bloodbeat":
http://s33.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=2BP9EXXLB4MWY3EZ3HKBVUZBIP

I think I still love these more than anything from the second, although it is relatively close. Both of these are arguably more fizzy than anything off WITW though, so, they win, for me.

― Alex in Doncaster (Alex in Doncaster), Tuesday, 5 July 2005 17:12 (7 years ago) Permalink

Kind of disappointed that this is being positioned in part as a reaction against electronic landfill music etc. because he's better than having to say things like that and knows how to write a damn good pop song, but he does that weird thing where he yo-yos back and forth between talking about how much he loves Britney/Girls Aloud/whatever and acting as though pop music is the bane of existence, so I'm sure it'll be another phase.

The reinterpretations should be quality and also BUFFY SAINTE MARIE.

I have an awful, awful feeling I'm not going to like this. I tend to think that artists' first impulses are generally correct. That having constrained circumstances fuels creativity, and going back over old ground makes things less good rather than better. I mean, obviously I will listen, to challenge that view, but I don't think it bodes well.

― Norton Malreward (White Chocolate Cheesecake), Thursday, 9 August 2012 16:54 (9 months ago) Permalink

if you don't like it, at least keep in mind that: "Its been a wonderful self assessment to make this album, extremely cathartic, Its left me a clear slate, head and heart to be able to move forward with the next 10 years."

it's a moment of reflection, and not an indication of direction. Lupercalia felt like the end of a particular musical journey, anyway, to be honest.

― twinkin' and drinkin' and ready to fly (Alex in Montreal), Thursday, 9 August 2012 16:59 (9 months ago) Permalink

I'm also not sure I believe that. "I'm gonna retread old material" is often a sign of a block. But if this is his way of moving past it, good for him.

― Norton Malreward (White Chocolate Cheesecake), Thursday, 9 August 2012 17:02 (9 months ago) Permalink

I agree WCC, but in Wolf's case I think it'll suit him? His records have been identity- and genre-experiments as much as they've been "filled with songs". Considering how inspired he's been by Mitchell et al., his arrangement decisions have decidedly been more contemporary (or at least, a hybridization). I'm very optimistic!

― Ówen P., Thursday, 9 August 2012 17:03 (9 months ago) Permalink

Tracklist appearing on various music store websites - not official but seems legit. Three off each album and then one song from the Brumalia EP. Nothing from the early singles and b-sides, which is a shame. This sort of re-recording/retrospective would have been a good chance to get Pumpkin Soup or Godrevy Point or something out to a wider audience, but it looks like a solid collection.

2. Vulture
3. Paris

First taste of the album = promo video with the re-recorded Overture (which was always acoustic, no? just very orchestral)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?&v=3i-KqFCKa_c

The new version is nice enough, although I'm going to miss that stunning chamber quartet arrangement - one of my favourite bits of PW's string work.

However, per much of the thread earlier discussion, PW wandering around shirtless in a field continues to be a welcome sight.

Yo, WCC, pictures of PW with exposed chest and blunderbuss in the sleeve of his new self-covers record. And one of him in the bath, too. Albeit just his airily blurred face.

Anyway, sund4rk/Riverlight. Just arrived. Just listened to it. Acoustic versions of his "hits", or as close to hits as he has. Absolutely beautiful in terms of arrangements and performances and recording, as you'd expect. Not sure how much it'll get played, but the versions of Paris and London and Wolf Song might become my defaults (seldom go back to that first album). Shows him as a very, very accomplished songwriter and, as I've been prattling on about for aeons, an absolutely exquisite singer.

Anyone else got it?

― flamboyant goon tie included, Wednesday, 17 October 2012 18:31 (7 months ago) Permalink

Like but don't love the album now that I've had a few weeks with it. New arrangements work best with the older stuff, worst with stuff from The Bachelor. Lycanthropy is still better messy and glitchy but its nice to have the version of Paris that he's been playing live for ages on record. WitW tracks fare best mostly because they're closest in songwriting and vibe to the tone of this whole project. Bluebells is devastatingly gorgeous. I understand the point of the new political Bermondsey Street but it made me cry more when it made its point less explicitly (but still that's very Patrick cf Count of Casualty etc.)

Overall a pretty good stopgap and something he probably needed to do but I still don't know where he's at or where he's going.

The live set in Montreal was stunning though. We got Empress and Hazelwood (although no Godrevy Point or Pumpkin Soup - one day I will hear those live)

Pop montreal had weird one hour set limits even though he was a headliner so it was a relatively short jazz bar set but quite lovely for all that.
