Search - Michael Talbott & The Wolfkings :: Freeze-Die-Come to Life

The Wolfkings exist to throw fire in the face of anyone who believes that the eloquence and mystical nature of music has been lost. Like glimpses of hazy days and memories half-remembered and half-imagined, the songs of The Wolfkings offer up a collective window in which to view the less tangible aspects of life. The best of youth spent indoors, schooling himself in the books of the Age of Anxiety and the films of the Chamber Cinema, Michael Talbott emerged through blankets of snow and set about building a house of finery from the ground up. Together, Talbott and The Wolfkings make music that wouldn't sound out of place alongside such varied luminaries as Richard & Linda Thompson, latter-day Tindersticks, Meddle-era Pink Floyd, Beck's Sea Change, or early Leonard Cohen - essentially, anywhere music has been transformed from the urbane to the transcendental. But take a deep breath before you dive headfirst into this brambly briar, and beware of the surrounding teeth, because they can indeed bite - beware, for The Wolfkings ride tonight!
