Phildel, “The Wolf”

British musician Phildel makes songs that sound like the ones on Florence + the Machine’s first album, or maybe White Chalk–era PJ Harvey — nursery rhymes with drum machines for grownups who’ve seen some shit.

Prepare to be constantly singing to yourself about wolves and blood and sinners and stuff, because that’s your life now.
