New details have been revealed regarding Patrick Wolf's forthcoming debut via Bloody Chamber Music and Bandstocks. After an initial plan to release a two-part concept record under the umbrella title Battle, with one side documenting a period of hurt and isolation in Patrick's life and one focusing on newfound contentedness, each part shall now be divided into separate album releases.

Released on June 1, the first part in the series, entitled The Bachelor, tackles the pains and spells of depression the 25-year-old suffered touring in recent years. It acts as a precursor to The Conqueror, to be released at a later date, and shall feature contributions from such musical alumni as Eliza Carthy, Thomas Bloch, Alec Empire, Matthew Herbert and Tilda Swinton, the latter appearing as the "voice of hope" on the record (more here).

The Bachelor runs as follows:

"Kriegsspiel (Wargames)" 

"Hard Times"
"Oblivion"
"The Bachelor"
"Damaris" 

"Thickets" 

"Count Of Casualty"
"Who Will?"
"Vulture"
"Blackdown"
"The Sun Is Often Out"
"Theseus"
"Battle"
"The Messenger"
