Wild Beasts Artist Snapshot:

With Hayden Thorpe's falsetto lending the Wild Beasts afrobeat and rockabilly infused post-punk an absolutely surreal tint, the Brit outfit swiftly built a local following in the mid-'00s in its adoptive Leeds hometown, before generating an international underground buzz by the decade's end. It's a borderline musical circus as the four-piece band changes tempo at will and switches up genres as many as four times in one song. Thorpe also favors flamboyant and literate Morrissey-esque lyrics furthering the band's musical disorientation and glorious descent into rock & roll fever.

Review

Spin (p.114) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "Strutting from preening castrato to bestial growl, singer Hayden Thorpe sets out to explain the modern masculine dilemma on this British quartet's debut."
Clash (magazine) (p.87) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "Not to be taken lightly, dramatic tone and lyrical silliness obscure a sinister impulse throbbing within the album, spitting delightfully mysterious candy machine baubles onto your eager palm."
Clash (magazine) (p.64) - Ranked #26 in Clash's "The 40 Best Albums of 2008" -- "[I]t makes us bless life's existence while pondering the point of it all."

Title Note

Wild Beasts: Hayden Thorpe (vocals, guitar, piano); Tommy Fleming (vocals, bass instrument); Chris Talbot (vocals, drums); Benny Little (guitar).

In the tradition of the Kinks, the Television Personalities, and the Arctic Monkeys, Wild Beasts wear their Englishness on their sleeves. The key element in this otherwise standard-issue indie guitar band is lead singer Hayden Thorpe, whose startling falsetto leaps and fondness for highfalutin language to describe prosaic street scenes make him the 21st-century spawn of Sparks' Russell Mael and Morrissey. Exceedingly clever without being pretentious, LIMBO PANTO is a whimsical and endearing debut.
