WILD BEASTS
PORCELAIN RAFT
$20 Mainstage / Doors at 8:00
Boy King is Wild Beasts' boldest and most vital record to date. A concept album, Boy King has the band "back to being pissed off". The quartet's knack for sensual melodies via Hayden Thorpe and Fleming's dueting vocals, Little's sinuous guitar groove, and Talbot's potent rhythm section carries on - and between the aggression and darkness, there are glorious, catchy Pop moments. It's yet another incomparable Wild Beasts record; a naked and direct body of work that acts as a remarkable soundtrack to the early 21st century male malaise.
