First off, there's the apparent news that the new song 'Wild Life' is coming out on March 30th and a new LP in May along with a tour. A snippet of the song can be found here - Wild Life (Note that it's released by 'Bloody Chamber Music', the name of Wolf's studio label). However, single, LP and tour are now being reported as false, this is from DIY Magazine - So, is someone just being extremely impatient with Wolf's next LP then? They're going to extraordinary lengths if so; they've got a leaked bit of song and new promotional, never before seen material (Patrick brandishing beetroot). Further digging reveals a youtube account in the name of Bloody Chamber Music Label, with the following information: All very odd if this is untrue. It appears to be professional and feasible, though I'd say that track list is a little too feasible for my liking: a bird song, check; Cornish place song, check; a couple titles from the patrickwolf.com website, check. It looks like someone has weaved together fragments of truth with a tailored falseness. Anyway, an update would be very much appreciated if you're reading this Patrick, on this as well as The Ghost Region. Along with a minimally designed website (chalkboard theme?) on which you could maybe post messages/updates/news/writings/pictures/fragments/everything. Just so everything can be in one place. |

TW have confirmed that an album with that title and tracklist doesn't exist unfortunately  I've no idea why someone would bother making it all up??!!! Baptista, Ringworm, Devil Behind Me and Watcher in the Woods are the names of the new songs he's played live over the past couple of years and the first three titles are the bits of text that were showing on his website. I don't know if the others are real song titles or just completely invented! The photo is just the one that's being used to promote the tour and Wild Life was recorded several years ago (whether or not he has any plans to release it I've no idea!) The name of Patrick's record label is "Bloody Chamber Music" not "Bloody Chamber Music Label" and these accounts have never released anything before so I think they must be fake. The UK and European tour dates with Calpernia are real though!  |

So, it there's really a tour, then why no official announcement? If I was going on a tour, I'd make sure to let people know in advance. There've been a couple of silly instagram and Facebook posts but nothing serious for a long time. Considering that a lot of people have also paid for a book that's nowhere to be seen, maybe it would be better to update the fans on whatever is going on, even if that means confessing that there are no new songs and the book money's gone to paying rent or something. Also, if Wild Life is fake, somebody's done a good job! I don't think there are any live recordings out there that are good enough to put together a vocal track that sounds this good. Oh, and while I'm at it, we should resurrect this place! I miss it. This is my first post here in a very long time!  |

There've been a couple of silly instagram and Facebook posts but nothing serious for a long time. Officially announcing shows when they're booked isn't really Patrick's style  Haha, he shared a link to an article about the UK dates on twitter and facebook today though so I guess that counts! He's denied the rumour that they'll be part of a bigger world tour, but there's no doubt that the ones which have been announced so far are real - my tickets for all 6 UK shows have been delivered already and some friends of mine have bought tickets to the European shows with no problems. Calpernia has announced on her facebook that she'll be supporting him and she seems a reliable source Considering that a lot of people have also paid for a book that's nowhere to be seen, maybe it would be better to update the fans on whatever is going on, even if that means confessing that there are no new songs and the book money's gone to paying rent or something. Speak of the devil! patrickwolf.proboards.com/post/221137Also, if Wild Life is fake, somebody's done a good job! I don't think there are any live recordings out there that are good enough to put together a vocal track that sounds this good. It's not a fake, Patrick just had no intention of releasing it. He said on facebook today that it was an old stolen demo recording from 8 years ago! Oh, and while I'm at it, we should resurrect this place! I miss it. This is my first post here in a very long time! Yes, I miss this place too! I feel a bit guilty that's it's been so inactive the past couple of years - I think it's our fault for migrating to facebook! My twitter wolfpack friends (including most of my old wolfboard friends) and I started up a facebook group so we'd have a place to chat with no character limits and it ended up becoming an unofficial fan group with 80 members! So now we use the group instead of this place to share news and chat. I tried to encourage everyone back to the wolfboard at one point but it didn't last long... I think people tend to check facebook a lot more often so it's easier to keep up to date with everything that way, and most of my friends who'd never been on here before weren't very interested in joining because it was so inactive. Plus with our own group we can keep out spammers and don't have to worry about going off topic or anything But I'd be really sad to see this place die - I've made so many good friends on here over the years! I always keep an eye on it but I've only bothered posting when people ask questions... now there are signs of activity again though I'll start making an effort to share on any news/info we hear about And you're welcome to join the facebook group if you like (as are any other fans on here too!), just PM me |

Okay... I have been checking Facebook and all the other usual social media stuff daily, but of course he's actually posted something the only time I didn't. It's great that he finally commented on the status of the book. It's just a pity that it took so darn long before he did. I'm fine with artists taking forever to make their art (I've been working on at least three different musical projects for years now with no end in sight...), but when you sell a product you're kind of obligated to deliver, or at least let your buyers know why they're not getting what they paid for. Even if you happen to be Patrick Wolf. Letting half a year go by without any updates... Not a good idea, really. Anyhow, let's hope the "next couple of weeks" thing is true. Should be here for my birthday. I don't know how the ticket sales are going, since he doesn't play anywhere near me, but I'd imagine that just a tiny bit of promotion would help with this sort of thing too. I don't know who Team Wolf are these days, but maybe they could put something on Twitter/Facebook/Instagram or whatever people are using? Congrats on going to SIX shows! I felt like crazy fan seeing him twice when he happened to be in Sweden. Wish I could afford/have time/vacation days to go see at least one or two shows this time around. Wild Life really isn't my thing, musically, but now I want the full track anyhow and it's not going to happen. Boohoo. I think this place started to go extinct a long time ago, even before the great Facebook migration. Some of the old fans lost interest when PW went more mainstream and less "lost boy"/experimental folk/weird. Some "grew up", I think. Other things in life became more important. Just like any other artist forum, it's also been very quiet when there's been no releases and it's been A LONG LONG TIME since any new stuff. Not really counting Sundark. I'm definitely not an active poster here anymore, but still around from time to time to check in. I don't really want to admit it even to myself, but life's been less forum chat and more work. |

Another one of those stolen demo recordings has surfaced! soundcloud.com/bloodychambermusic/tomlSounds like the Battle megamix version of (Worst) 'Time of my Life', with the Lupercalia vocals. If anyone's listening, the Battle Megamix demo of 'Together' would make my dreams come true. |

I'd guess someone just used the stems made available for the TOML Remix contest to make that. That old megamix version of TOML would be great too, though. Since the stuff is out there, maybe Patrick would be inclined to give us a few demos. |

Haha that's always the way! Yeah the book has been a bit of a shambles, but hopefully this time he really means it - it'll be great to finally see it! Ohhh I totally forgot when I replied before that he has actually been promoting the shows on facebook - almost every time I go on there there's a sponsored post from his page with the UK tour dates. But it would be useful if he posted a complete list somewhere too! Haha thanks, I've never managed so many shows in a tour before - my record is 4 in a week during the nights of winter tour! Aww that's a shame, hopefully he might add more shows soon so you can see him! Wild Life has always been one of my favourites - I'm so disappointed it turned out not to be true (even though in hindsight it seemed unlikely he'd release it as a single after all this time!) That's true, there were usually only like 5 active members back when I used to spend all my time on here! Maybe it'll pick up a bit again once he finally releases something new. Another one of those stolen demo recordings has surfaced! soundcloud.com/bloodychambermusic/tomlSounds like the Battle megamix version of (Worst) 'Time of my Life', with the Lupercalia vocals. If anyone's listening, the Battle Megamix demo of 'Together' would make my dreams come true. I don't know what they're trying to achieve posting all these demos and fake accounts - did you see they made a fake Bloody Chamber Music twitter as well? Then they changed the name to Glory Chapel Music and started making fun of Patrick when people started calling them out on it... does this person not have anything better to do with their time?? |
