C’mon world - can we shut up about the xx for just a minute? Wild Beasts are so so much better and deserve some of your attention.
In Britain there has long been a complete lack of decent singers - in my opinion, no one of note since Thom Yorke really…
Most British bands just can’t fucking sing. And the disappointment has been papable. But this fella can sing. Boy, can he sing. And the lyrics too. the music. the complete fucking package. Wake the fuck up world, the Wild Beasts have just made you a delicious cup of English Breakfast tea. the great decade of british vocal dearth is over.
[EDIT]
Originality too, I forgot to say that they’re completely original as well. Name one band they sound like. I mean, like, really sound like. I can’t think of one. Rare.
