Patrick Wolf – The Crown of Stars Tour

Patrick Wolf

More than ten years after his last album, the British singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist breaks free from a period of intense personal developments in melancholic and idiosyncratic pop songs. Patrick Wolf's penetrating baritone evokes both theatricality and pure emotion. With his new songs he returns to the sound of his first album: playful, moving, seductive and raw with graceful instrumentation, poetic lyrics and slightly boisterous beats and rhythms.

Patrick studied violin, viola, harp and composition. At the age of 20, he released his debut album Lycantrophy , which was immediately received with great enthusiasm by the international music press. Successful albums followed: Wind in the Wires , The Magic Position , The Bachelor and Lupercalia .

In the meantime, Patrick Wolf toured as a support act for Amy Winehouse and Arcade Fire and gave concerts in increasingly larger halls and festivals. He also played in Patti Smith's band for a while and worked with actress Tilda Swinton, composer Angelo Badalamenti and photographer Nan Goldin, among others. A new album from him is expected this year.

The Night Safari

The Night Safari EP is the first release of new music in over a decade, born from an intense period of personal hardship, including bankruptcy, a battle with addiction and the death of his mother. Wolf understandably turns inward and purges bouts of anxiety and depression through his carefully arranged songs and playing on viola, Celtic harp and piano, among others. Compelling songs that, despite the suffering behind them, do not fall into drama but evoke a cinematic beauty - like true catharsis.
