The Quietus today received word that Patrick Wolf’s new video was to air as a late night exclusive at MySpace, after being deemed too “provocative even for late night TV”.
“It shows an enraptured, semi-naked Patrick writhing in a full S&M, bondage outfit,” the press release for new single ‘Vulture’ gabbles, its controversial scenes apparently showing Wolf as “an unmasked icon”.
“Inspired by experiences Patrick gained and suffered on the American leg of the 2007 ‘Magic Position’ tour, the video perfectly depicts these experiences, which Patrick describes as ‘getting involved in some dodgy satanic sex games and exploring the many dark sides of Los Angeles’.”
Sexy, very sexy – sexy, sexy beast.
