2009 marks the anniversary in which i first fell in love with the wild beasts. jg and i spent a solid 6 months randomly busting out a "waaaatttcchhh meee, waaattcchh me" (listen below and you will too) at all inappropriate times ie almost getting kicked out of a cab, but that's a whole other story. i am head over heels in love with their new album, smother. ***disclaimer*** i am well aware this band can be a bit (very) creepy. all that aside, it's quality stuff. they are on the record for saying the novel Frankenstein has been a pivotal point of inspiration for this new material (which, again, does sort of translate to creepy), but is also quite genius when you sit and think about it. i have read that damn book for school AT LEAST 5 times, so email me if you need a cliffnote version and we can break it down metaphor style. they contain a wonderful sense of imagination and whimsical elegance not to be messed with. it's just their thing, and they do it well. two thumbs up, smother. you have me hooked (again).
peep the creepy video for All The King's Men (aka waaattttccchh me waaatttccchh me)
