Accident & Emergency - Single

The Wolf Bites Back

     

Patrick Wolf's latest single, Accident & Emergency, is yet another example of the English singer/songwriter's remarkable musical skills. At once an accessible pop track and a more niche electronic work, the track shows off Wolf's unique vocals and instrumental skills to great effect. Although the lyrics descend into the near-twee ("If you never lose, how you gonna know when you've won?"), on the whole Wolf's turn-of-phrase and unerring talent for matching words to music create a song that will be a welcome addition to his repertoire. Pulsing, driven and unashamedly alternative, this really is Wolf at his best.
