I've lived many afterlives, I've waited too long I mistook my air supply for wings, through all I was a faithful son, a useless architect I've been awake too long, and empty argument I've burned through all sympathy, I've changed the start Only in useless dreams are we pulled apart I'm born in a full collapse, in the only town I've been a tangled heart, a broken monument Only to waste it all, a mealy mouthed reply Only in useless dreams are we pulled apart I'm in another time - in a full collapse I burned every photograph that you survived in Here, time runs backwards now, we are rectified There's no way, you will see - time destroys everything Every night the pieces fit, I break them up - begin again I made a pact, if I should fall, I'll leave a trail for you to follow Are we no better? Every night, the darkness comes To see me off to lower worlds If I ever win the war, I'll fall into the ground below I can get them all to see, all again, all again I'm nothing more, but a parasite A tune I've lost I waged a war on losing things A fool I am Tidal waves, and pesticides, a ruined place I've never been so anaesthetised, when you were there I've learned to be an alibi, in time we've lost

about

"The Wolf of Allendale" is a fever dream. One where you wake and scrawl a page of words in a stream of consciousness. The herald for something bigger, looming into frame. You know that feeling in the pit of your stomach, that gnawing you've felt for the longest time? That's "The Wolf of Allendale". Musically, "Wolf..." is deceptively buoyant, bouncing from section to section. Lyrically, it tumbles from gentle admonishment, to outright despair throughout its three distinct acts.

The writing and recording of "Wolf..." was fraught. Initial recordings lost. Hard drives scoured. Personnel scattered across the world. In the end - the pieces were stitched together in the heart of Sheffield. Like it always is.

"The Wolf of Allendale" was written by Chris Anderson, and recorded by New Ghost. On this recording - New Ghost is Chris Anderson, Gareth Hughes, Ellie Richards, Taran Ali, Nic Bowden, and Joe Richards.

Additional instrumentation from John Sephton

Initially recorded at Old Pig Farm Studios with John Sephton and Steve Goodison. Additional recording at Make Noise Studios Sheffield with Tom Henthorn.

Produced by New Ghost, John Sephton, and Tom Henthorn

Mixed by Tom Henthorn

Mastered by Dean Honer
