‘Keep Your Eyes On The Road’ is the first single to be taken from the outstanding album ‘The Devil and I’ from Leeds’ Lone Wolf.
‘Lone Wolf’ has been a silent film, a book, a song, a TV series and a Native American chief, but never the alter ego of a singer, until Paul Marshall chose it to house his subtly sombre, gorgeously haunting songs.
Having used his own name for 2007’s acoustic-based debut Vultures, Lone Wolf signals a much expanded sound. His album dovetails perfectly with Bella Union’s stable of supreme melodicists and outstanding vocalists, such as Fleet Foxes, John Grant and Stephanie Dosen. But The Devil & I stands alone, as lone wolves do. The melodies may be persuasively dreamy and the vocal delivery tender and restrained, but the mood is troubled.
Lone Wolf has momentarily abandoned his solitary alienation to play live with a backing band of Leeds peers - Lindsay Wilson (Grammatics), James Mabbett (Napoleon IIIrd) and James Kenosha. Following Wild Beasts’ singer Tom singling out Lone Wolf’s album as one of his hot tips for 2010, they’re supporting Wild Beasts on their UK tour this March.
