I am more than pleased to write good review of latest Patrick Wolf album Lupercalia!
This is album I was waiting for and was scared itwould be another disappointment as was R.E.M.s latest. Luckily I can announce that this cd hits the bullseye:)
This has to be most mature cd Patrick has ever made. Gorgeous string arrangements and piano played together make beautiful harmonies. Most of the album is slow and raises only few times to midtempo and that suits album as whole very well and it has been a good choice to make it so. Patrcik knows how to use his strong voice and it shows here as it always has. This one has less violin than previous cds and main instrument is piano. That was bit unexpected move. I kinda miss the violin, eventhough the record is absolutely beautiful. It brings enough new sides to be interesting and enough old stuff to be recognisable. Absolutely must for fans of melodic pop. And say, do you hear traces of Abba here and there... Hmm...

And even better news is that Patrick will play a gig in Helsinki at Tavastia! Last time it was sold out, so get tickets in time! The date is 6.12. and tickets are 30€. Age limit is 18.
