We knew that ever-changing pop chameleon Patrick Wolf had a new album on the way. He already unleashed the percussive, horn-heavy pop gem "The City" earlier this year, and now we have the full release details for Wolf's fifth full-length. Entitled Lupercalia, it's due out on May 31 via Hideout/Mercury.

The multi-talented songwriter self-produced the album, with sessions taking place in Spain, England, the U.S., Germany and France. A press release confirms that he played the following instruments on the recordings: viola, piano, dulcimer, guitar, baritone ukulele, Moog synth, and timpani. He also composed the orchestral and choral arrangements himself.
