Patrick Wolf unveils new cut "Nowhere Game"

After marking the 20th anniversary of his debut EP with "Enter the Day" in November last year, Patrick Wolf has shared another new single titled "Nowhere Game", which arrives with a Joseph Wilson-directed video, and is the second preview of a new EP due out in April.

Wolf says of the new single, "On the way home from a concert on a stage facing the Black Sea in Crimea I recorded a melody into my laptop and started programming on the plane home, trying to make a portrait of the storm rolling I had watched sitting backstage on the beach with an armed security guard. Many years later as I was finishing The Night Safari EP I discovered that unfinished project and then the new string section and lyrics of a period of life I named "Nowhere Game", a few years where I stopped singing all together apart from, I realised, to record “happy birthday” down the phone to my friends and family. Ultimately the song to me is a slow realisation of being trapped in any manifestation of a vicious cycle and a long way yet from knowing how to ask for help. The viola and violin parts on "Nowhere Game" and across the EP are played by myself for the first time since my first two albums, proof to me that I had broken one of my own vicious cycles in the end and returned to my craft."

The Night Safari will follow Wolf's 2012 album Sundark and Riverlight.
