The terrific Cumbrian band will be bringing out a new album in May, and will be playing a few shows around that.

Hooray, Wild beasts are back. After 2009’s ‘Two Dancers’ turned them into one of the biggest interesting bands in the country, their new album, ‘Smother’, written half in East London, half in Wales, will be out on Domino on 9th May 2011. Eyes peeled for more on them from us, but in the meantime watch the above video.
