After The Magic Position, which seemed horribly contrived and commercialised, I didn’t have very high expectations of The Bachelor, but I actually quite like it, from what I’ve heard.

It’s a bit too… much, a bit over-produced, and he certainly hasn’t exercised much in the way of restraint, but it feels much more ‘honest,’ I suppose; he might have thrown everything into it - strings, beats, choirs, Tilda Swinton - but it feels less compromised than the previous album.

I do love Patrick, actually, so it’s cool to have a new album which feels more ‘him,’ in that it doesn’t really sound like anyone else - yeah, it’s broadly comparable to Björk or Kate Bush, but you couldn’t say it’s generic. It feels most like Lycanthropy too – the folk/trashy electro mash up – and that’s definitely a good thing.
