Important Jamie news: on the strength of repeated - and I mean heavily - listens to Smother in the last few days, Wild Beasts have now overtaken Los Campesinos! as my favourite band. I would pay quite a lot of money that I do not have to see them again tomorrow. Please buy Smother (LP if you have the means to play records) and then sink into it. Allow it to surround you like a warm bath, sum you up like an epitaph, be blatant ad a bailiff and allow its lips to blister when you kiss. You shall become electrified and mutually bring a creature alive.
It's alive... it's alive... it's alive!
But yeah, buy it.

Very cool. I wish I had the means to play records.
ReplyDeleteWould the means be really hard to come by? x
DeleteRight now, yeah, they would. The turntable sits right next to a better camera on the shelf of things I'll buy as soon as I make some spare money. I love records, the way that a record actually makes you slow down and concentrate on the music.
