Wild Beasts - 'Sylvia, A Melodrama' (2007)

[sylviekb]

He's actually saying "Sylvie" not Sylvia 

[LoudtoneRecords]

this sound like jeff buckley

[besty222]

Dare one mention the name 'Elbow?'

[cesky1]

@besty222 haha, just when I heard first words of this song, Elbow popped in my head. Very similar, melodic voice and also style

[hjhmdfd]

jeff buckley...

[Snow0dragon1]

Pacifixtheband

They are unbelievably incredible, I had never imagined that I would experience such amazing music. It was certainly love at first note. Amazing.

[SeaHorseGypsy]

Music for the new earth

[WhirleyPopple]

Love love love love.

[Seabearr]

too short! D:

[oistarski]

these boys good

[cameronchilds]

are there any other songs other than assembly, through dark night and this one that aren't on their first and second album??

[shutupcaf]

@cameronchilds Treacle Tin, Through The Iron Gate (although this is in certain versions of Two Dancers i think!) & Mummy's Boy

[shutupcaf]

@cameronchilds @cameronchilds Treacle Tin, Through The Iron Gate (although this is in certain versions of Two Dancers i think!) & Mummy's Boy

[cameronchilds]

@shutupcaf Thanks, had all of them apart from Mummy's Boy! It's impossible for them to make a song that isn't any good.

[ziggystardust39]

@cameronchilds The ONLY wild beasts song that i dislike is "when im sleepy". Don't know why but that song has never agreed with me. All three of their albums are incredible though

[Carlosisexisting]

was this based on the book Silvia by Leonard Michaels?

[DavidAngelMedina]

f^&k me sideways, even their B-sides ROCK!!!!!!!!!!

[whothennow24]

Holy crap, those quick guitar strums at 2:12 and 2:20 are aweeesome!

[shutupcaf]

@whothennow24 sends shivers down the spine!

[vicktormerv]

Sylvie <3 Oh Sylvie. <3

[TheQuixoticHalf]

SYLLLVIIIEEEEEE! <3

[TimMoraal88]

such a great band!

[coreymac]

such a chill song

[akaBrianChrisLynch]

Cant wait to see these in about an hour 2! Nice small venue too! Whoop! Whooping!

[trollfinger]

I;m goign to see these guys in about an hour. Don't know much of their stuff, but I say it will be a damn good show.

[mtllcrckmn]

This almost sounds like elbow.

[madmax0412]

Beautiful song.

[pacifixtheband]

the greatest band of 2009...............

[VamastaMoren]

In your opinion

[pvtdangles]

no.. in your mums opinion.

he wasnt quoting the planet earth

[water4sure]

@pacifixtheband Yep!certainly a really clever bunch of lads!!!

[jenandthumper]

@pacifixtheband and 2010!!!!!!!!! X

[djsquiremacalp]

@pacifixtheband and 2010!

[ToListen]

@pacifixtheband It's 2011; what do you have to say for those who've just discovered Wild Beasts?

[carmenc69]

@pacifixtheband

for sure!

[carmenc69]

@pacifixtheband

for sure

[testcardgirl26]

@pacifixtheband and 2011 ..:)

[freakasaur]

reminds me a little of Can

[parkerdog68]

they are playing latitude festival in june

[lousta75]

YES! :)

latitude should be a good'un, hopefully

i'd kick grace jones though

[MiguelDeCorella]

Good luck trying to kick Grace Jones. She's a big girl, you know?;)

[lousta75]

thats a point, maybe punt her away with a demoltion ball?

[MiguelDeCorella]

ahh, you're bringing out the big guns, hum? I'd make her fight with Brigitte Nielsen. that would be some fight.

[lousta75]

I can almost picture the scene now, bottle's flying at them as a crowd quickly forms

[inquiringof]

their best song so far

[craignuclear]

'orange juice' for the new millenium

[titaxo]

magnificossss

[jhern0]

it aint normal but its better than almost every band from the states this decade.

[fightinggetsmehot]

they're not from the states they're from the lake district. biiig difference. lol. but you're right anyway. i love them. saw them at union chapel. they were supporting guillemots and they were amazing. first time i'd seen or heard them. hope they get bigger and start to do their own shows.

[jhern0]

i wasnt saying that they were from the states. i was just comparing them to the crap that weve got over here

[fightinggetsmehot]

ooh, i see. all becomes clear. i didn't know you were in the states.

[jhern0]

unfortunatly

[fightinggetsmehot]

haha. it's not that bad, surely?

[jhern0]

id really much rather live in the uk. the job market here is shit, inflations getting worse. im just glad i live in a place thats not violent cuz id probably get mugged alot

[fightinggetsmehot]

its not exactly peaches and cream over here, either. my area is quite respectable and some idiot tried to mug my and my friend. ended up getting slammed into the wall. HA!

[jhern0]

ha i guess that most people that do that stuff arent exactly harvard material

[fightinggetsmehot]

lol. exactly. and i meant the twat who tried to mug us got slammed into the wall, btw. sure showed them. =]

[andreas2ridiculous4u]

I enjoy the strange delivery of their songs, makes for super cool interesting music.

[sonicjay007]

so good of them to sound.....adore it!

[riethc]

I thought Brits made good rock music... What's with this shit?

[JohnnyFlorida2000]

What, like Kasabian and Courteeners? whatever mate.

[titaxo]

this guys doesn't exist in emule????

[insulapufoasasiroz]

i don't like that much the singer's voice, but the rest is awesome!

[Uktrayf]

this is way better than assembly

[italianbistro26]

no way... this is so much better than anything antony did.

[ramonesaudibert]

DUDE! this is awesome... the guy's voice does sound like anthony's, but the music is absolutely different and 123 times cooler. and the beats are just so... wild, hahahaha! what a marvellous mixture, i'm in love.

[randallsaurus]

this dude is just totally copying antony and the johnsons

[black1atrax]

his voice is similar but the music is much better. And antony wasn't the first to sing like this!!! So.... BS

[interpolluter29]

I have a question, though, they said this is a short video for the song. Do they mean that there is more to the song or that there is more to the video? What do they mean?

[andrewakacrazy]

good job ...

[wtfbeach456]

hi its me from runescape lol any weird vid! = )

[guigui1236]

from who are those words in the final ? I couldn't read

[interpolluter29]

Cixous. That's what it looked like it said.

[guigui1236]

thanks a lot !!!

[guigui1236]

I can't find this music anywhere

[badsneakersrecords]

Its the B-side to Assembly available on Itunes, type in Wild Beasts!

[shiidii]

This is really nice, reminds me of Elbow.

[interpolluter29]

It sounds like would it would be like if Antony and the Johnsons has been fully influenced by Cocorosie.

[silviamay06]

totally agree :)

[interpolluter29]

Regardless, I agree. This sounds pretty peaceful.

[JaNiintendo]

Nice song!

thanks Domino Records!!

[badsneakersrecords]

Anthony Bagley edited this, very nice indeed.
