Wild Beasts share ‘Boy King’’s opening track, ‘Big Cat’
The album comes out on 5th August via Domino.

Wild Beasts are releasing their new album ‘Boy King’ on 5th August, and have shared its opening track, ‘Big Cat’.
‘Big Cat’ follows the excellent ‘Get My Bang’ in previewing the follow-up to 2013’s ‘Present Tense’.
‘Big Cat”s accompanying video is a pretty creepy trip, complete with talking bilboards. It complements Hayden Thorpe’s creeping yet strangely sultry vocals.
Wild Beasts are set to headline this year’s Green Man Festival in August, before embarking on a massive UK tour, including two nights at London’s Roundhouse. View those dates and watch the video for ‘Big Cat’ below.
