Crying The Neck
With his 7th album Crying The Neck, 41-year-old multi-instrumentalist and composer Patrick Wolf has created a confident, uplifting, and hopeful record inspired by the transfiguring power of grief at the death of his mother, folklore, the Kentish landscape, and the state of England.
On this album, Patrick brings in long-term friends Zola Jesus, Serafina Steer, and Seb Rochford to provide guest appearances. The first in a planned four-album series, Crying The Neck was written and recorded in the Kent coastal town Patrick now calls home.
As well as the album's release, 2025 will also see the release of a BFI funded feature-length documentary film about his life. Across his first six albums, Patrick established himself as a much-loved and respected artist. He is known for combining electronic sampling with classical instruments.
This CD edition comes, after a moment's silence, with three "instrumental" versions chosen by Patrick as works of composition and string arrangement that he felt needed to be heard alongside the album song versions. The Curfew Bell and Lughnasa heard here composed and recorded as one piece of music in its sprawling multiple time signatures and keys and the backing to Foreland composed as a duet between two string quartets.
