Wild Beasts indie rock band announce new album, “Boy King”

Wild Beasts have shared a new track and announced details of their new album, Gigwise reports.

'Boy King' is the Kendal fourpiece's fifth album to date, following on from 2014's 'Present Tense'. It will be released on August 5 via Domino.

Of the album, frontman Hayden Thorpe says: "It became apparent that that guitar almost became the character within the songs, that phallic character, the all-conquering male,. I’m letting my inner Byron fully out, I thought I’d tucked him away, but he came screaming back like the Incredible Hulk."
