rough trade exclusive with bonus 5 track cd called 'the spinster' - it's the companion piece to 'the bachelor' and comes with it's own art and limited to 500 copies. patrick wolf's fourth album was originally intended to be a double disc album entitled 'battle', recorded in battle, hastings. the two cds were titled, 'the bachelor' (an album documenting a time in his life where he was travelling excessively, battling with the world around him, his self, his desire and tackling depression and bachelorhood) and 'the conqueror' (an album documenting his current love affair and return to a place of happiness, compassion, stability, and domestic life). patrick has since decided to release both discs separately, so as not to overload people with too much information at one time. 'the bachekor' is a fourteen song album featuring collaborations with eliza carthy, thomas bloch, alec empire, matthew herbert and actress tilda swinton. he draws on a wide range of songwriting influences, with traditional sounds and arrangements both evident, but also brings a thoroughly modern electronic production to the equation, creating a unique and innovative sound. an intelligent, versatile and textured record, this demonstrates why wolf is lauded as one of the last great british musical hopes.
