Visually, what Wolf is doing in this first video from The Bachelor is in line with what Kevin Barnes is doing with Of Montreal — glammy, ostentatious and flamboyant, but without Barnes’ Dargeresque doll imagery. As for the music, it reminds me of what Marc Almond of Soft Cell was doing in his late-’80s solo career, creating lush, orchestral pop songs.
