With the release of his third full-length album, Patrick Wolf may be going through something of an identity crisis: at times dance-inducing, at times heartbreaking, and occasionally ridiculous, the music of “The Magic Position” is a decidedly mixed bag. The artist describes his music as “Folktronica,” which seems apt enough—the melodic mix of electronic and traditional instrumentation is really where the album shines.

Most recently, I met the girlfriend of a bohemian but pious painter; she had spent half her life unveiled in London, but donned the full-length black chador to satisfy his expectations. She still says "Ciao!" when leaving the room, and seems at ease in her new reincarnation. The hejab marriage prerogative also works in reverse. When one of my lightly religious relatives married a woman from a traditional family, she downgraded to a simpler headscarf...
