Patrick Wolf has announced a new album called Wildawake and shared a teaser for upcoming lead single "Wild Life".

Speaking about the track, Wolf says: “Today I put my ear to the ground and heard the beat of dancing bears, roar of the captive crowd, these dismal stories do ourselves confound, but I just want to wild awake, wake the wild sound... this is a big hit song that I have been sitting on for the sequel to [2009 album] The Bachelor that I had plans to debut at Eurovision Song Contest.”

Wildawake is due via Bloody Chamber in May. It'll follow 2012's double record Sundark and Riverlight.
