Wild Beasts - ‘We Still Got The Taste Dancing On Our Tongues’
It’s great when a record suddenly clicks with you, innit? After catching this lot what seems many moons ago to me now and, after failing to leave a lasting impression, I’ve been neglecting them somewhat. At least until the unescapable hype surrounding this year’s sophomore ‘Two Dancers’, anyway. I mean, my student union seems to give the lead single a spin every ten minutes during the day.
They’re cropping up everywhere, including awesome freebie The Fly who championed it as record of the year. Maybe I wouldn’t necessarily rate it that highly, though I can’t deny it a top five finish, per se. Yeah, there are aspects of their music which warrant an acquired taste but let me tell you, it’s all worth the effort in the end. Even for the fact that I can’t for the life in me come up an outfit sounding remotely similar.
