Patrick Wolf

The opening of today's track "The City" by Patrick Wolf sounds like the intro to a tv show. I'm not sure why but that is what keeps sticking in my head. Once the song gets into its groove you start to hear so many different instruments. On top of the drums and keys, there is a great horn section that really shines through. This song also seems to have a heavy influence from some great 80s ballads as it really gives you a nostalgic feeling.

Patrick released his latest effort, Lupercalia, last month and "The City" is the opening track off of that. Knowing that, it makes more sense that the opening of the song sounds like an intro to something. An introduction to what is to be expected from the rest of the album.
