Vinyl LP pressing. When Wild Beasts announced that they would be calling it a day, the news came with an unusual absence of drama. There were no bust-ups or breakdowns to report, no warring words, not even a trace of the trademark "creative differences". Instead there was a dignified and heartfelt message to their fans that explained that the band had run it's course. For those who'd watched the Cumbrian group grow from purveyors of peculiar guitar pop into one of the most inventive and important bands of their generation, the news came as a shock. Weren't they just hitting the peak of their powers? Perhaps that was the point.
