Brumalia is a 7-track EP released by English-Irish singer-songwriter Patrick Wolf, to accompany the release of Together, the fourth single from his fifth studio album, Lupercalia. The EP is due for release on 4 December 2011.
Album information
The title Brumalia comes from an ancient Roman solstice festival honouring Bacchus, often involving drinking and merriment. The name is derived from the Latin word bruma, meaning "shortest day" or even "winter".[4]
Each track was written by Wolf throughout 2011. Production and programming took place in The Pool Studios on Bermondsey Street, London in autumn 2011. The EP features on track created on an iPad, whilst Wolf was travelling through Florida[5].
Album artwork
The artwork for the EP was shot by Patti Smith. Of the artwork, Wolf said,
"These are two photos Patti took of me on Cooden Beach on a freezing windy Winter day earlier this year the day after I played harp and viola for her at the De La Warr Pavilion. To me the photos sum up the bleakness and melancholy of England in the Winter months, which was something that inspired the choice of songs on this EP"
