Patrick Wolf tours U.S., promotes expensive plaid :: Music News :: Articles

Patrick Wolf, the 23-year-old British folk-pop artist whose penchant for shocking red hair and heavily layered clothing of opposing patterns makes him look a bit like a Final Fantasy character, will once again thrill and trill U.S. audiences with his melodic warbles on a short tour that begins in mere weeks. Wolf's latest release, The Magic Position, came about earlier this year on Low Altitude and was followed by a titular single and music video with enough primary colors, costumes and loosely coordinated dancing to fuel a hip children's show.

Furthermore, Wolf's video podcasts are nominated for what else but "Best Podcast" in this year's Digital Music Awards. You can download the episodes on iCast, comb YouTube for snippets and participate in the democratic process here by throwing your vote in the web-hat.
