Wild Beasts have uploaded a video for the second track from their new album ‘Boy King‘, which is out on August 5th.
The Pablo Maestres directed clip for ‘Big Cat‘ follows on from ‘Get My Bang‘, which led off the new album’s announcement last month. “I’m letting my inner Byron fully out,” Hayden Thorpe said at the time. “I thought I’d tucked him away, but he came screaming back like the Incredible Hulk.”
“I think ‘Boy King’ is an apocalyptic record. It’s about swimming in the abyss. When you think about sex, you’ve got to think about death, they’re one and the same.”
Wild Beasts play two shows at the London Roundhouse in October, part of a UK tour which also includes visits to Sheffield, Cambridge, Newcastle, Glasgow and Manchester.
