Where The Wild Beasts Are
If I didn't know any better I would guess that Hayden Thorpe, lead singer of the UK's Wild Beasts, was possessed.
As Matt Fluxblog so eloquently put it, "Thorpe's voice wavers between masculine and feminine extremes like an old-timey hobo convinced that he's Maria Callas." I would add that "Assembly" sounds like the centerpiece to a lost 60's-era Kinks concept album about the Renaissance. Don't forget to check out the song's drama-schoolish vid as well:
You can purchase more music from Wild Beasts, via their official website. Their debut full-length should be arriving sometime this summer, courtesy of Domino.
