Where The Wild Beasts Are

Wild Beasts‘ new album ‘Two Dancers‘ is getting a great deal of airtime around these parts, and deservedly so. It is one of the most exciting albums to be released this year. Hallucinatory and somewhat ethereal, howls and shrieks permeate intriguing lyrics. Their approach and execution is something brave and successful, removed briskly from the ‘quirky to be cool’ brigade for maintaining substance over style.
With the new album, developments have occurred since ‘Limbo, Panto’ (another personal favourite) allowing the band to experiment with a more completed sound, whilst maintaining all of the eccentricities that brought them to the initial attention of the astute listener.
Here is ‘All The Kings Men’ taken from the new album, the pagan imagery and occult references still running strong in their videos.

And for good measure, here is earlier track, ‘The Devil’s Crayon’ taken from the aforementioned first album.

Wild Beasts are touring in early 2010 and I strongly recommend that you take the opportunity to go and see them before they transform into an entity of Killers sized proportions.
