Biography

London, United Kingdom (2003 – present)

Patrick Wolf (born Patrick Denis Apps on 30 June, 1983) is a singer-songwriter from London, United Kingdom. Wolf mixes electronics and samples with a wide range of instruments including viola, keyboards, ukulele, and percussion, all of which he plays himself to form a fusion of jazz, folk and electronic music.

He began experimenting with sound and four-track recording at the age of 11, eventually building an arsenal of instruments that included junk-shop organs and a home-built theremin. At the age of 14 he joined the pop-art collective Minty, a venture that caught the eyes and ears of Fat Cat Records, which went on to supply the youth with a computer and mixing tools for aid in his newfound audio experimentation. He left home at the age of 16 and formed Maison Crimineaux with his friend Fanny, which eventually found its way to France where the noisy duo played a show attended by electronic maestro Kristian Robinson (aka Capitol K), who went on to release Wolf’s lauded 2003 debut. With Lycanthropy reaching number 39 in the NME’s top LPs of the year, as well as receiving critical acclaim throughout Europe and America, Wolf decided to study composition at the Trinity College Music Conservatoire.

The results of that endeavor can be heard on his 2005 release Wind in the Wires, a dark collection of moody British folk and chamber pop with a chilly laptop sheen.

    Oh really, people still whining about missing "sad Patrick"? Get over it, really. He still creates magical songs, no matter if he's "sad" or "happy" or whatever. If only more of you tried to understand Lupercalia...

    The time of Patrick's sadness passed already, so there probably won't be more songs like those from Lycanthropy or Wind In The Wires. I'm deeply in love with all his albums, so it's not a problem for me :D But, ohh, I want something new so badly... I'm curious about what will he create now <3

    Wind in the Wires is such a magnificent album. It's a shame his newer stuff hasn't grown on me as much. [2]
