Kendal indie lot Wild Beasts will follow last year's Limbo, Panto with a new full-length for Domino on August 3.
Originally called Fauve (French for "wild beast", innit?), Wild Beasts formed in 2002 as a duo, Hayden Thorpe and Ben Little. They later recruited drummer Chris Talbot, changed their name to something a bit more English, then recoated to Leeds, picked up bassist Tom Fleming, made some music, signed to Domino, released Limbo, Panto to much acclaim from us and others, and here we are.
The new album will be called Two Dancers, and will be preceded by a single, 'Hooting & Howling', on July 20. They'll also be playing a bunch of live dates
