After a small string of dates across the UK, Patrick Wolf has now announced a full scale UK tour. But, far from the sort to do things by the book, Patrick has taken this opportunity to maybe interest you in a special product he has going.

Anyone buying tickets for the forthcoming jaunt from Ticketmaster will have the chance to snap up a pre-order of his forthcoming record, The Bachelor, for the discounted price of £6.99 (CD) / £4.99 (digital).

Also ahead of the tour date Patrick will be celebrating Record Store Day this Saturday (April 18) by performing at Pure Groove record shop in Farringdon, London. Pure Groove shall also be exclusively stocking the limited run 7" of the forthcoming single from Patrick, "Vulture". But - yet again - whether able to make the intimate gig or not, any investors in Wolf's record will be able to get their hands on material first with an exclusive opportunity to order a copy before the date of general sale. You can still check out the video for the raunchy new single here.

Patrick will also be performing a special one-off acoustic gig in New York on May 6 at Le Poisson Rouge ahead of The Bachelor's release Stateside on June 2. This will provide a unique experience to witness many of Wolf's electronic compositions in a stripped down format.

Talking about his performance in the US, Patrick said: " I am excited to be going back to America, to play songs from my new album. And to show New York how it all started by going there on my own with only a case full of instruments for company".

The video for Patrick Wolf's triumphant return in form of "Vulture" has been revealed, aired at a special late time on MySpace UK because of its explicit content, with Patrick toying with the imagination and taking on a number of suggestive positions donned in racy S&M kit in a video he claimed he was "getting involved in some dodgy satanic sex games and exploring the many dark sides of Los Angeles".

Though not suitable for those of you working away in an office, here's the video to Wolf's forthcoming single, available from April 20:

Having recently completed a small rapturously received tour of the UK, Patrick Wolf has revealed the debut single from his forthcoming Bloody Chamber Music/Bandstocks record, The Bachelor.

Entitled "Vulture" the release, available from April 20 as both a 7" and digital download, the single will feature remixes from These New Puritans and Tobias Doppelganger as well a new single, "The Tinderbox".

Discussing the single, Patrick delves into how collaborations and touring influenced the track:

""Vulture" is a collaboration between myself and the infamous electronic industrial genius, Alec Empire. I became a follower and fan of Atari Teenage Riot when I was 15 and it had always been a dream of mine to collaborate with Alec or one the amazing producers and noise makers that formed part of the Berlin Digital Hardcore Collective.

"I guess I have been extremely influenced by a lot of modern pop production like Danja and Bloodshy&Avant. After three albums of being sole producer and songwriter, the experiment of collaboration and co-writing has been so exciting, rewarding and given a great energy renewal for me creatively and I can think of no-one better than Mr Empire to lose my virginity to. The song has only one acoustic instrument, The Stroh Violin (a one stringed violin with a brass horn attached) played by the wonderful David Coulter which I recorded in The Cures residential studio in Battle, last summer. Vocals recorded at The Dairy, Brixton and all Electronics in Berlin at Alec's Hellish Vortex studio (all programmed on the ATARI!)."

The video premiere for the single shall be aired exclusively on MySpace UK this evening (Wednesday 18) and tomorrow (Thursday 19) between 2100GMT-0400GMT.

Deemed unsuitable to be shown pre-watershed, the video features Patrick writhing about semi-naked, clad in a revealing S&M outfit. Patrick describes the video, directed himself, as: "getting involved in some dodgy satanic sex games and exploring the many dark sides of Los Angeles".
