Contrary to what their name evokes, Wild Beasts continue to be some of the smoothest and softest songsmiths around with unreleased track "Woebegone Wanderers II," which was premiered on Jon Hopkins Radio 1 this week.
Recorded around the time of their last release, Present Tense, which was quietly one of the best albums of 2014, the song is a continuation of "Woebegone Wanderers" which appeared on the British group’s debut Limbo, Panto way back in 2008.
After gently swirling around the space in your head in that signature brooding Wild Beasts style for around two minutes, "Woebegone Wanderers II" dissolves into echoing glitter for the final third, floating off until you inevitably drag it back down for yet another listen.
