Our Take

Ah, Wild Beasts, the whimsical wizards of indie pop, have once again graced us with their latest offering, Smother. This album is a tantalising journey through the eclectic minds of Hayden Thorpe and Ben Little, who seem to have a penchant for whimsical melodies and haunting vocals.

From the opening track, "Lion's Share," we are immediately transported to a dream-like realm where lush instrumentation and poetic lyrics reign supreme. Thorpe's falsetto vocals soar over intricate percussion and subtle, yet effective, guitar work, creating a sonic tapestry that is both mesmerising and beguiling.

But fear not, dear listener, for Smother is not all ethereal musings and floaty melodies. Tracks like "Plaything" and "Loop the Loop" inject a hearty dose of groove and swagger into the mix, daring you not to tap your feet and shimmy your hips. It's as if Wild Beasts have taken a page out of Prince's book and infused their signature style with a bit of funk and soul.

Overall, Smother is a triumphant return for Wild Beasts, showcasing their growth as musicians and songwriters. It's a testament to their ability to push boundaries and defy expectations, all while maintaining their quirky charm and infectious energy. So do yourself a favour and dive into this wild and wonderful world of music - you won't regret it.
