Wild Beasts – All The King’s Men
October 1, 2009 - 6:29 am
All The Kings Men, released on October 5th 2009, is the infectious second single and a real stand out track from Wild Beasts exceptional album, Two Dancers.
An ode to Girls from Rodean, girls from Shipley, girls from Hounslow, girls from Whitby, All The Kings Men is one from the dead-eyed to the doe-eyed, featuring a decadent tenor from Tom Fleming who takes the reins on lead vocals. Layers of swaying keyboards from Hayden Thorpe, crystalline guitars from Benny Little and a rutting tom-tom from Chris Talbot create the songs’ cascading, sinuous groove. Watch me, watch me!

This is such an amazing video, exactly how I would imagine it to look like, it reminds me of a robin hood/ medieval feel with the women being fantasy like figures that can be compared to lord of the rings. Can’t wait to see them next week!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great song and interesting video… although the first part looks like an M&S ad’. I was expecting Twiggy and Co to emerge from the foliage. Beautifully shot.

Wild Beasts, since …
Wild Beasts, since they’ve came out, have marked themselves aside as a band that don’t play to convention, and release absolutely beautiful, interesting music. This track is stunning. The album is fantastic, apart from ‘When I’m Sleepy’, which i immediately skip, as i think they had too much chocolate when recording that one( :p )-Anyway – this track is great. Brilliant dark lyrics, great yelps – lovely harmonies and infectious as hell. ”girls astride me…you’re birthing machines”.Brilliant.

Great song, great album (buy it on vinyl if you can get it) video is eh. Seriously, why do we see Hayden’s face three times as many as Tom’s? Not nearly as interesting visually as Brave Bulging Clairvoyants or even Hooting and Howling.
