Wild Beasts team up with Anna Calvi for ‘Alpha Female’ at Maida Vale

Currently off on a UK tour in support of ace new album ‘Boy King’, Wild Beasts took to Maida Vale for a 6 Music session yesterday.

Enlisting Anna Calvi for a run-through of ‘Alpha Female’ on Marc Riley’s evening show, frontman Hayden Thorpe shared vocal duties with the fellow Domino-signee, lending the track a new, sparring quality.
