  • Bio

    ..Wild Beasts being of the modern, being of the renaissance, being baggy pantsed, being tight pantsed, being in a scene and being in a place. .. ..So we bent our backs and leaned hard into our chores, like an old slugger working the ring, the furious fist of fate swung his swing and we took the lot - full on the sweet spot. ..

    ". . . my favorite track off of Two Dancers is 'We Still Got
    The Taste Dancin’ On Our Tongues.' It’s a ridiculously catchy song, and
    honestly it took only one listen to get it stuck in my head . . . and I
    think permanently. I’ve been finding myself humming it constantly!"

    Two Dancers is our clear favourite on this year’s shortlist. We are glad you got nominated for a silly music price. It gave us a second chance after dismissing you for a pleonastic band name. The music’s truly gorgeous.
