Battlestar Eclectic

Sarah Torribio and her right brain. Music. Musings. Writing. Style.

I know it sounds a bit mad, but Patrick Wolf is the male, chamber orchestra-backed version of Lana del Rey. A very English Lana del Rey. A very fey Lana del Rey.

Except for the occasional song of satisfaction, like the exuberant “House,” Wolf leans so hard into melancholy, mystery and wistfulness you worry he’ll drown. He is elegant, elegiac and carries a voice that is inexpressibly tender and rich. It’s as clear as a violin and sad as a cello.

–Sarah Torribio
