Patrick Wolf is going the unpronounceable route with his new album called Lupercalia. This album will be released on the 30th of May via Hideout Recordings and Mercury. There will be eleven tracks on the album, including ‘This City’, for which a clip was released a while ago. On the album Patrick Wolf will play quite a bundle of instruments himself, and he also took on production duties.
One of the tracks on the album is called ‘The Falcons’. The Falcons were an illustrious group that fought for the rights of human kind. They started out helping people who were in need. Sort of like superheroes except for that they didn’t have any powers, just a large storage space where they could practice. However, the group peaked in popularity when they started to employ social media to cover their rescue attempts. More people started to get to know about their noble deeds, and with the extra funding this garnered it seemed like they could actually change the world.
However, because of the larger public demand and because people started to except hourly twitter updates The Falcons started to spent more time on the internet than on actually rescuing people. But if they didn’t rescue people, they wouldn’t have anything to report at all! Aye, there lay the conundrum. In an attempt to stay on twitter and not lose their popularity they started to report about rescues that never took place, which was easy enough to find out as there has never been such a thing as a Rhinoceros the size of Manhattan, and if there ever had been one it certainly didn’t get stuck in the pool of the Mrs. Crabbopowitz.
