Patrick Wolf To Work With Patti Smith

Patrick Wolf has roped-in punk icon Patti Smith to appear on his next studio album.

The experimental musician revealed the news via a MySpace blog, when he said: "Patti Smith and I met on the stairs at Hurst House, and we ended up playing three songs together on the Saturday night."

"Patti and I will be making some music together very soon. On Monday she taught me a melody she wrote about a three legged dog. We have still to work the song out to full completion."

"Soon we will be recording a little moment for the next album. I'm very excited about getting to the end of the three legged dog song though too. She told me that we have a good future together and how can I not agree."

The new album, although currently untitled, should hopefully be released before the year is over. It will be his fourth to date and the follow-up to 2007's 'The Magic Position'.
