It’s been almost half a year since our first taste of Patrick Wolf’s fifth album, Lupercalia, arrived in the form of the official lyric video to “Time of My Life,” a promising preview followed by the unflinchingly upbeat single “The City.” Now the LP finally has a release date (May 30), cover art (above), and tracklist (below).
Once you’ve checked out the aforementioned details, we have a pair of pro-shot live versions of two new songs after the jump: “Armistice,” a moving ballad inspired by a traditional Gaelic love song, and “Time of My Life,” performed in St. Petersburg and broadcast on Russian television earlier this month.
