NAME: Patrick WolfPROGRESS REPORT: Releasing his fourth album, The Bachelor (Bloody Chamber Music), on June 1.Patrick Wolf is 6'4", has a shock of white-blond hair and a penchant for avant-garde fashion, Elizabethan music, and baroque set design. So yeah, it's no surprise that Universal Records, his last record label, wasn't the best home for his upcoming LP, The Bachelor. The record veers a bit from the poppier songs of The Magic Position and features production from German digital hardcore producer Alec Empire, a gospel choir, and spoken word interludes by actress Tilda Swinton.
