EXCLUSIVE NEW DOWNLOAD: Patrick Wolf - Hard Times (Alec Empire Remix)

"Hard Times" finds Patrick Wolf battle-hardened. Industrial leather-boy Alec Empire was roped in to lend new album The Bachelor teeth and filth and while he's succeeded in doing that in his role as producer, as remixer he really goes to town: arming the track with brain-rattling beats and malevolent electronic whirs, swoops and clanks. What shouldn't fit here? What would be most alien, amidst the strings, dark mechanical sounds and Patrick's thesp-baiting wailings? G-funk. G-funk bomp underpins this, incredibly, and what's more it works. Confusion is Patrick Wolf's game - the English youth's lyrical repertoire is shot through with sexual and existential angst, but here that confusion is transferred to the music and so the singer in the middle of it all sounds relatively bold, bolstered, victorious. Good job, Alec!
