yes, they are, "Hooting and Howling" is an amazing tune
Great band!
Their live performance is even better
sorry i'm late to this thread. yes. i really enjoy Wild Beasts. their sound is indeed very refreshing.
gherman, which album do you like better, their first or second? i would say i like their second a tad bit more, but they're both strong.
Yes, last year at the LeGuessWho festival at my hometown (Utrecht, Holland) Amazing show!Had you heard them before?
This is a booty call. My boot, my boot, your asshole.
The new album, Smother, is out now, and it's receiving ludicrous amounts of praise right now.
I'm a bit ambivalent on it at the moment. I like it, but I know I'm being told to like this far more than I actually do. The danceable edge their music had has nigh on evaporated, replaced by a fluid backdrop of soundscapes and Antlers-esque guitar scrapes n' chimes. I prefer the sound of Two Dancers to this one, but this is an extremely beautiful, cohesive record with a great sound and a lot of pretty shit going on at any one moment. It's a good record. But with that 90 it has on metacritic, I came in expecting an epic masterpiece, and this is just a taut, unassuming paean to lost love (or something; I tuned out the vocals the moment I remembered he sounded like Antony) with a clutch of solid songs. I just wish it was a hair more kinetic, you know?
My favorite track for now is Burning. But I predict this will be receiving many more listens in the future.
