Wild Beats are back, with a brand new – and absolutely massive – song, and a new album to boot.
‘Get My Bang’, the first cut from the record, is the kind of banger that other bangers dream of, a bassy, swaggering, smooth-as-fuck dream. The full-length, ‘Boy King’, is set to drop on 5th August.
You can check out the video for ‘Get My Bang’, described as ‘Hayden Thorpe’s twisted routine of Justin Timberlake-meets-Trent Reznor choreography’, below. It’s a pretty accurate take.
‘Boy King’ will be released on heavyweight 12” vinyl including album download card, with a deluxe edition including a bonus 7” of two bonus songs available via the Wild Beasts online store. The album will also be released on standard and deluxe CD formats, with the deluxe edition including a 12-page booklet, as well as deluxe digital download.
The band will also play a run of UK and European dates to support the release, including a massive show at London’s Roundhouse on October 4th.
