Patrick Wolf - The Magic Position
Reviewed by sartorius
Like Patrick Wolf's previous two releases, Lycanthropy and Wind in the Wires, The Magic Position is a mixture of strings and beats, a haunting explosion of sound that is one part Björk, and one part something else altogether. Wolf's voice, which here does not break off into guttural growls as it did on songs like Lyncanthropy's "A Boy Like Me," is confident and distinct, a star capable of selling its emotional content. Happy, sad, or bouncing between both extremes, Wolf is always working to put his listener in that magic position. [www.patrickwolf.com]
