Wonders of the World

It is simply not enough to listen. Listening, despite its lonesome significance, is somehow incomplete unless followed through with thought. Sound must evoke thought – no matter how absurd or disillusioned. In truth, most things in life are ‘supposed’ to evoke thought, yet somehow this masterful experience is left undervalued. This process, to me, is the only natural element left within the individual – the provocation of thought. Feeling can often be tainted by expectation or guilt or a host of different things, but thought is private. And in this very privacy, gains ultimate significance and does wondrous things to the soul; the birth of Music, for example.

Hypnotically mellow, savagely beautiful, expressions of wounded truth; Henry Wolfe has one of those melodically soulful voices that transport one to unimaginable realms of thought. An essence of vulnerability, together with a surreal kind of realism coats every track – making this album entirely addictive.

The Blue House, Wolfe’s first official album is available for download on iTunes and is definitely worth the investment. £3.95 for undertones of acoustic perfection is almost morally damaging.





To listen, to think, to feel… the unappreciated wonders of the world.
