![]() Afton Wolfe (from the album Petronius’ Last Meal available on Twangrila Records) The voice of Afton Wolfe becomes the spotlight that shines on the stories of Petronius’ Last Meal. Sometimes reaching, sometimes soaring high above the cacophony of instruments, Afton Wolfe mixes advice, warnings, and observations on “Slingshots” as the band follow behind with gypsy abandon in a tribal beat of bongos and guitar strums. Opening Petronius’ Last Meal first cut “Interrogations” features Afton Wolfe as a wandering minstrel when the storyline and melody weave across the track. Academia mixed with alcohol, sidetracks, and a quest for perfection shelved Petronius’ Last Meal after it was recorded in 2008. A dark sky above “So Long, Sweet Lime” matches the moody melody as Afton Wolfe squints to read a ‘press release in an old Village Voice’ in a moonless night as Petronius’ Last Meal sorts through questions and answers in the duet conversation of “Notes Written on Basil” while “Wait on Me” exits the album on world-weary words and music.
