2011, Domino Recording Co.

Wild Beasts return with their third full length, entitled Smother. A year and a half after their last album (Two Dancers), Smother reveals a much more mature band. They've kept their distinct sound intact: oscillating falsetto and baritone vocals, lyrical wit, and a penchant for seedier topics. However, this new album incorporates rich electronic textures and a subtlety of melody not heard in their earlier work. Wild Beasts fans will not be disappointed.
