New Music - Patrick Wolf 'The City' (Hideout, 2011)

Just picked this up on lovely scarlet vinyl having stumbled across the video on a music channel recently. I've always found Patrick Wolf interesting but never particularly loved his stuff.

This is a fabulously catchy, uplifting, drums and horn-driven love song that demands to be listened to on repeat. To me, he's channelling Dexy's Midnight Runners, Aztec Camera and maybe even Haircut 100, though of course it's possible he's never heard any of them. A beauty.
