New Patrick Wolf Single

Patrick Wolf releases the first single off of his upcoming fan-funded album, The Bachelor, via myspace.  The new song is titled Vultures and is as odd as ever, which is to be expected from such and eccentric guy as Wolf. Like many other artists these days, Wolf will be using an unconventional method to get his music out to an audience.  His new album, set to be released on June 1st of this year, he is partnering with his listners to release the album through site called Bandstocks. First you log on and vote for which artist you want to make an album.  Then once an artist gets enough votes, you have the option to invest in their album by buying a bandstock for about $14.   As an investor, you get a free download of the album once it is released along with a few more small perks.  So right now Wolf’s album is still in the investment stage but is well on its way to entering the production stage, which is the third and final stage.

Musically Wolf is said to be experimenting with some “rougher textures” musically.   Apparently there will be a “heavy metal” track along with some collaboration with the Oscar-winning actress Tilda Swinton.  So it should be interesting to say the least.
