Smother by Wild Beasts

Released:  May 10, 2011
Rating:  72.00

The critics are absolutely raving about the third studio release from the English quartet.  Formed in 2002, the band was originally called Fauve.  (This reference was enough to convince me to buy the album:  Fauvism - les Fauves is French for "the wild beasts" - was a movement in the art world in the early 20th century; whose best known leader was Henri Matisse.)

I really like this album for its trippy, theatrical ambiance.

You can hear the entire album at Myspace Music - click here - by simply signing up for an account.  (I highly recommend  anyone interested in listening to new music , or old music, legally and easily sign up with Myspace.  Their music section is amazing.)  For a single, I'd recommend the dark and moody 5th cut, Plaything.  You can hear a brief interview (about 2 minutes) followed by an in studio version of the song here.
