For the folks whom don't really know him, Patrick Wolf is a solo artist from Britain who does "folktronica". He's kind of British folk but uses quite a bit of electronica, but he does in an an almost organic way and it just paints such vivid scenery.
I honestly really like his music, I couldn't stop listening to Lycanthrophy today- there's just so much of his stuff that you JUST have to stand up and notice, because it's just so heartwrenching. Like that song, "The Childcatcher". That has to be the most disturbing and terrifying songs I have heard. The Libertine is a very direct good single, and some of his more mellow subtler stuff are equally good if not better... like The Railwayhouse, Pidgeon Song, and the Gypsy King.
But now. One thing I don't like about this man. His MUSIC VIDEOS! I think his presence kills the mood that he's trying to create, and you just can't take a boy like him seriously!

"Why hullo there Patrick! Well I was sipping my instant powdered tea one night... I was struck with a thought.... and I was just sort of wondering... is there any possibility that... er... that you could be Morrissey's love child?"
Morrissey is the shiznit. But, you have to admit, they kinda fall to the same dilemma... or am I just being overly critical and picky here?
