Art: The Album Deck Of Cards (Montagu Square) - The World’s first intelligent album deck
In addition to her Musical Jacket, Wolfe released her second album Montagu Square as the world's first NFC Album Deck, which marked a new intersection between technology and music. The album deck comes as a pack of beautifully printed MOO cards, encased in a box reminiscent of a tape cassette, with each card corresponding to a track from the Montagu Square album and featuring the song’s artwork, lyrics and an embedded NFC chip. Listeners can simply tap the song cards to their phone to instantly play the track and access its content – liner notes, lyrics, artwork, music videos etc – which is being updated all the time, giving the album deck the feeling of a “living” or dynamic vinyl.
Music: Montagu Square - Second Studio Album
Montagu Square was recorded at 34 Montagu Square - the former home and secret studio of Hendrix, Ringo, McCartney, Lennon & Yoko Ono - and in the room where McCartney wrote ‘Eleanor Rigby’ and Hendrix penned ‘The Wind Cries Mary’. The music of Montagu Square has been described as "tender and confident" (Independent) beautiful chamber pop, reflecting the spirit of the flat's inhabitants, with 'Take Me Home' (a William Blake inspired love ballad) being a standout.
