Patrick Wolf, Part 2: major label versus indie life

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit loudandquiet.substack.comIn the second part of my conversation with Patrick Wolf, the London-born musician who I met at his new home on the east Kent coast looked back at his previous major label record deals that took him from a life of DIY creation to a world where he suddenly had £250k to spend on a music video. What did he make of those days, and how does he feel about returning to music as an independent artist in a new world of hyper-self-marketing and content creation? And then there was the question of new album Crying the Neck, Wolf’s first album in 13 years, and a punchy closer: is he happy with his career so far? Typically, he answered that one with the same candour that ran through our entire time together.
