Crying The Neck

With his seventh album, ‘Crying The Neck’, 41-year-old multi-instrumentalist and composer Patrick Wolf has created a confident, uplifting and hopeful record inspired by the transfiguring power of grief at the death of his mother, folklore, the Kentish landscape, and the state of England. On this album, Patrick brings in long term friends Zola Jesus, Serafina Steer and Seb Rochford to provide guest appearances. Across his first six albums Patrick established himself as a much loved and respected artist. He is known for combining electronic sampling with classical instruments. The first in a planned four-album series, ‘Crying The Neck’ was written and recorded in the Kent coastal town Patrick now calls home. As well as the album’s release, 2025 will also see the release of a BFI-funded feature-length documentary film about his life. CD edition also includes three ‘instrumental’ versions as well as two fold-out lyric and credit pages with photography by Furmaan Ahmed.
