PATRICK WOLF – “JUPITER”

Patrick Wolf’s new album Crying the Neck arrives next month, and the latest single is “Jupiter.” “On the morning of my first 90 days clean, in recovery I woke just before dawn to see a beautiful, rare alignment of planets above the rooftops of Bloomsbury,” he says. “There was one planet that shone the brightest and after a quick search I discovered it was Jupiter and so the planet and I have formed a relationship since that moment just before morning, taking on the role of watcher and messenger of change and healing for me. I set the song on the outskirts of Kent, the Medway, the line at the edge of the capital that blurs into nowhere, brownfield and becomes Kent, where I explored to the ends for inspiration to write before leaving the city for good. The whistling noise you hear throughout was the basis of the production, on a hospital visit mid-summer I heard a strange whistle song coming from under a circle of trees and saw a man dressed in a black suit and a wide brim hat and cane, some kind of apparition of solitude that I had to covertly record on my phone and later that day on a loop I wrote the electric tenor guitar part that forms the main song. The final part of the production comes from the voice of Dr Dame Maggie Aderin Pocock who gave me permission to use a recording I took at a lecture she gave in Canterbury. I am so grateful for her to have become the completing part of a song I love so dearly and has seen me through many stages and years of healing and the path back to wonder again since that dawn when I was visited by Jupiter.”

DOG RACE – “RETURN THE DAY (COLOURS)”
