We caught the band live in Leeds just a short time ago during the same Boy King campaign, deciding there’s ‘something different about Wild Beasts these days, something you can’t ignore‘:

“Live, the music’s innovative style is given an intensity unexpected from the records. Tracks are pushed further and harder, and the crowd are driven purposefully to move. It’s a display of unhinged control. The closer to the edge they push their sound the more the audience respond. It’s a simple game of musical brinkmanship that they are clearly winning.”

“What’s great about tonight’s show is its level. It is intellectual music played with real soul, like Roxy Music fronted by Smokey Robinson and Dennis Edwards – which on paper doesn’t sound appetising, but once heard it leaves you salivating.”
