Patrick Wolf's The Magic Position was in heavy rotation in my car towards the end of 2007, so I was excited to hear the new stuff from The Bachelor, out in June. The sounds so far are a darker electro clash meets new wave, not the bubbly grit of "Accident/Emergency" nor the vorpal blades snicker-snacking at the beginning of "Magpie." I was not as crazy about lead single "Vulture" (maybe because the promised Tilda Swinton cameo was saved for later recordings) but the video is insane!
It's kinda NSFW, with S&M get up and a lil' bare bum shot. Patrick has a serious Bowie influence here, both sonically and visually. The androgynous look works with the electronic sound, although his throaty vocals are very masculine. Check it out, as long as you're by yourself.
