Approved: Wolfgang (SNAP Of The Day)
By CMU Editorial | Published on Monday 14 September 2009
Londoner Wolfgang can often sound like he’s imitating David Byrne, particularly on debut single ‘Pieces of You’, which is released via the almost achingly attractive Neon Gold label (Passion Pit, Marina and the Diamonds). Indeed, in the build up to the chorus his urgent tone – particularly the ‘keep talking’ bit – led me to think it was heading into the peak of Talking Heads’ ‘Psycho Killer’. Unlike Talking Heads, however, Wolfgang’s music seems more Phil Spector Wall of Sound than Brian Eno, noted best on ‘Lions In Cages’, where Wolfgang’s spectral pop takes on fuller, grandiose resonance.
