I went to get my haircut on Saturday morning and during the 5 minute drive to the salon I managed to catch “The Magic Position” by London indie pop star Patrick Wolf on local college radio station WONC. The song is sooooo good. It is title track from Patrick’s latest album which is also quite good. It was (as so much music is) absolutely perfect in the moment of a warm and cloudless Saturday morning.

Having not heard anything from him before, I was very pleasantly surprised at just how great his unique brand of pop was. Nothing like weaving theatric and affected vocal melodies with lovely violins and other instruments and smashing them into glitchy electronics. You know that I’ll be heading out to get The Magic Position when it is officially released next week. In the meantime, have yourself a listen.
