Wild Beasts have always been a fascinating, if disorienting, proposition. Their yelping falsetto vocals, oddly archaic vocabulary and pingpong instrumentation have grated on as many as they have charmed, but the originality and quality of debut Limbo, Panto was hard to deny. However, the problem with laying down such a distinct and unmistakable manifesto is that following it up is a dangerous game. How is it possible to progress and grow as a band when you've made such a unique niche for yourself? And without losing the aspects of your sound that people fell in love with in the first place? Second Album Syndrome indeed.
