Wild Beasts - Two Dancers


Two Dancers, the second album to be released from Leeds four piece Wild Beasts and after such a strong debut last year was always going to be tough to follow up but I feel 'Two Dancers' stands on its own very well.
Each track on this album could be released as a single, with each featuring the distinct falsetto vocals of lead singer Hayden Thorpe which swoops and swirls in and out of Wild Beasts angsty, hideously catchy indie pop 'erotic, downbeat music.'
I use the term 'Indie Pop' extremely lightly as they bear no similarities to anything that is in the charts, for a start these guys have an abundance of talent and With songs such as the infectious lead single 'Hooting and Howling' characterizing a band that are bound for great things Two Dancers feels like an album very much of 2009.
