Patrick Wolf’s latest single “Damaris”
“Damaris” is Patrick Wolf’s third single for his album “The Bachelor”. A song about love and sorrow, the video (directed by Patrick Wolf himself) featuring Gwendoline Christie in the part of Damaris, fits perfectly in this universe! Addictive strings build the song from the beginning to the end, accompanied by beautiful choir and Irish whistle. But the most interesting about this single are it’s B-Sides. “Peacock Skies” is an electronic experimental piece, already heard on the first episode of Patrick Wolf’s Journal (watch it HERE)
“Queen Isabella (The She-Wolf Of France)” is an amazing song that could fit perfectly in the album “The Bachelor”. Harpsichords, harsh beats, screams, strings, everything Patrick got us used to is here gathered on a beautiful instrumental for disturbing lyrics about betrayal and disloyalty ‘It was late last summer, I found out that you went to, one of those places, the men go to mate’ Mr. Wolf sings ‘What the fuck was I thinking, my heart’s still sinking, down to my stomach, down to my feet, she were my she-wolf’
To finalize, a beautiful acoustic mix of “Damaris” at St. George’s Church, reminding us how magnificent Patrick Wolf’s live performances are, whether acoustic or electrified to the maximum…
