On his 2007 major-label debut, THE MAGIC POSITION, Irish singer-songwriter Patrick Wolf largely abandons his brooding Nick Cave-like demeanor (expertly displayed on '05's acclaimed WIND IN THE WIRES), opting instead to embrace the aesthetic of a brightly bedecked, life-loving dandy. What hasn't changed in this POSITION is Wolf's wildly inventive approach, which fully showcases the young performer's expressive croon and multi-instrumental skills on tracks ranging from the swooning, New Romantic-influenced "Bluebells" to the pulsing, beat-driven "Accident and Emergency" to the delicate, jazzy "Enchanted." As unpredictable and fascinating as Wolf himself, THE MAGIC POSITION demands attention for its kaleidoscopic vision and bold, dynamic sound. |

Magnet (p.112)
- "Wolf plays to his strengths on THE MAGIC POSITION: classical structures, Broadway-caliber staging and a resounding rich singing voice."

CMJ (p.39)
- "[T]he most electrifying instrument laid to tape here is Wolf's theatrical croon, which shape-shifts between Morrissey's emotive falsetto and Dave Gahan's dangerously sexy baritone."
