Wild Beasts are back, and sounding incredible - check out their huge new single 'Get My Bang' from their upcoming new album Boy King along with details of their upcoming tour dates below.
"After five records there had to be an element of 'what the fuck?,'" says Hayden Thorpe of the upcoming Boy King - and he's not wrong, with 'Get My Bang' proving to be yet another immaculate evolution and staggering departure for the band.
Gone are the indie idiosyncrasies that you once knew them for, replaced by a Justin Timberlake danceability met with the playful fun of Metronomy and a Nine Inch Nails industrial synth menace. It's all kinds of brilliant.
Boy King will be released on 5 August.
Wild Beasts' upcoming UK and EU tour dates are below, with tickets to their newly announced October shows* on sale from 9am on Friday 27 May and available here.
