Patrick Wolf to release double album

Dis' favourite multi-instrumentalist Patrick Wolf has revealed his plans to release a double album, suggesting that we "think, smashing pumpkins, kate bush, I'm going double, double, trouble".

Taking time out from his cousin's wedding to make the post in his myspace blog, Wolf reveals that:

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....

DiS hopes that the lupine one will be reprising some of the eccentric magic of his debut album and a little less of the faux-shine of The Magic Position, but it sounds like there will be something to please everyone (according to Wolf):

"One disk is heartbroken and in deep dispair [sic], one is in deep dark joy dedicated to my new love, my old and forever love, william the conqueror".

It had a couple of really good pop songs

it just didnt work as a whole, end of story.

Patrick Wolf didnt even enjoy the 'Magic Posistion' period, hense why he kept on freaking de fuck out the past year or so.

i really liked

The Stars and also most of the songs I didn't like were really great at Latitude and Bestival, although may have had something to do with drinking...

yup...

I agree it didn't work as a whole piece (in the way that 'wind in the wires' does) but when you set the bar as high as Lycanthropy, everything else is inevitably gonna disappoint somewhat.

Magic position = excellent...

although it looked only average next to the frankly outstanding lycanthopy and wind in the wires

Magic Position had some great songs

but it wasn't as good as the previous two albums.

Fun to see the tunes live though. Very excited about this double album!

Wind in the Wires was better

in my honest opinion.

it was a good album...

but no where near as great as his previous material. hence him being judged so heavily.

Although The Magic Position isn't his best album

Augustine is probably his best song. Lycanthropy is one of my favourite ever albums. I can't wait for the new stuff!

magic position

might not have been the best album overall but overture and accident & emergency are my 2 most favourtite Patrick Wolf songs so it was pretty snazzy in my books.

i am really excited about this news

\m/

double album too

i thought..

he stopped making music because he's a dickhead?

you are

crap

I like Patrick Wolf

but he is so far up his own arse...

Was there not a time he was going to quit music?

Or am i making stuff up?

you

are not. unfortunatly it seems he went back on his word :(

ha, what Dave said!

i hear

that its hard to tell where his arse ends and patrick wolf begins.

Hey, i'd be up my own arse too

if I looked like him
