Why do we like this?
A couple of days ago, Wild Beasts announced their third album, Smother, and debuted their first single titled "Albatross." Not only is this a more mellowed out and smooth-sounding track, it is super sexy and somewhat chilling. The glittering soundscapes in the background pair perfectly with singers Hayden Thorpe and Tom Fleming sweet harmonies. Out of all the tracks I've heard from them they have never sounded so pure and beautiful.

Album tacklist:

1 "Lion's Share"

2 "Bed of Nails"

3 "Deeper"

4 "Loop the Loop"

5 "Plaything"

6 "Invisible"

7 "Albatross"

8 "Reach a Bit Further"

9 "Burning"

10 "End Come Too Soon"

Check out the Smother when it's released on May 10 (U.S.) and May 9 (UK) via Domino Records.
