The amazing PATRICK WOLF returns on December 6 with a brand new single “Time Of My Life”, released on a brand new label, Hideout Recordings. On December 7, the day after the single release, he will play a show at London’s Bloomsbury Ballroom where he will showcase material from his forthcoming album along with a selection of classic material from his previous records.
“Time Of My Life” will be available in a very limited edition 7” vinyl, a precursor to the full CD/download release of a second single in March 2011, followed by Patrick’s brand new album in May.
The 7” will also feature a cover of the Leonard Cohen track ‘Anthem’ on the B side.
The single and album were produced and written by Patrick Wolf and feature strings recorded at Air Studios.
Discussing the first single, Patrick says: “ ‘Time Of My Life’ is a song that I began writing at the end of a relationship in 2006 and then finished three years later during a temporary break up in my current relationship. The new album has a direct narrative about love and optimism surviving through adversity and recession. I wanted to celebrate the love and hope I have found in the last few years.”
