Wild Beasts - 'Assembly' (2007)

[Tawnmaybe]

How is that every one of these Domino descriptions for Wild Beasts are so ingeniously perfect? I love it so much! Especially in that it shows Domino is exactly the kind of label I wish we'd see more often these days. Cheers!

[lyons403]

haha drooping : )

[poxyrob]

a brilliant band

[LoudtoneRecords]

[lillianiful]

[skylightrazors]

too bad this song didn't last forever...

[MrShamrockxxx]

genius.

[luzhizui]

Interesting....Sounds abit like Queen on drugs....

[layzyeye]

I cannot chuffing believe this is a B-side!

[scooterboyuk]

@layzyeye Not since the days of The Smiths has there been such a good b-side, or indeed such a good band!

[hummingbird830]

@layzyeye It isnt, its a single.

[AartyMc]

this guys voice is quality. Sort of like Freddy Mercury and I agree with the Kate Bush reference, spot on.

[russ7510]

These are a real strange band but i sort of like them

[JoshWattsBlues]

This song is incredibly disturbing. I love it.

[akugluk]

this is incredible... instant fan.

[ovven]

Just seen the poster they're coming to my uni :)

[testcardgirl26]

ohh love this one too (L)

[hosposits]

Such a good song.

[TheQuixoticHalf]

Holy heaven, Wild Beasts are absolutely amazing in every conceivable way.

[scooterboyuk]

@TheQuixoticHalf very well put my dear fellow!

[BethPessoa]

fuckin' genius

[3063293133]

weird!!!!!!!

[Dkdude9892]

i wish they'd play this live

[BEastmix]

Real shame they don't play this live. But they were great in Cardiff tonight.

[AmyLoveTiger]

What? They were in Cardiff?!

I missed them?!

Poo. :|

[BEastmix]

Yeah, they headlined at The Gate in Roath. It was part of swn festival. It was top notch.

[AmyLoveTiger]

Oh my god. I live like right by The Gate.

How could I have not seen them? D:

this truely is bad times for me right now. D:

[PlimbaUrsul22]

what an amazing voice

[BenjaminNBS]

Such a rich use of vocabulary - gorgeous and quirky tune.

Can't wait to purchase their new album! "Watch me! Watch me!"

[TonyDanza76]

@BenjaminNBS I have all three Wild Beasts albums and saw them in Sheffield on Saturday (booked again for November in Manchester) all because I somehow wandered onto your 'Werneth Winter Walk' on You Tube. Would just like to say - thank you.

[jpkyker]

Reminds me more of queen. The Devil's Crayon sounds more like the Smiths IMHOP.

[JoshWattsBlues]

@jpkyker The song Wobegone wanderers sound identical to the smiths! Love it though.

[bumsucker101]

Love how he looks man.

Love him

[LikidySplitz]

[yellowfellow]

his mother would be proud?

[trappedbox]

i love this song!!

[AlmaOort]

That has to be the most supernatural-alucinated thing I've ever watched and listened to!!! who are those people?

[LETHALSCOPEDOWNER]

the band is called the wild beasts. and they are a alternative and rather experimental band. somes good somes not. take your pick really. :)

[PicatrixSomoza]

This is the band of the future!!!

[BraggadocioBordello]

they're great!

[Paulgray2001]

saw them supporting foals last night, were really great live, this song is terrible though

[22churleay22]

Same lol

[simmo192]

my ears!!! they burn!!!

I researched this band cus they were supporting foals, so, there.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAbc

[zlliMillz]

Lol, my dad suggested I listen to this band after he heard them on Transmission.

He was right, they are appallingly bad.

[qotsaandsoadfan1]

Thats great, now run and tell daddy that the mean youtube people think you are waste of cum.

[zlliMillz]

That means a lot coming the fans of a band whose members are all undeniably a huge bucketful of wasted cum.

[DuesEstNonsanus]

That means a lot coming from a YouTuber whose perceptive ability is so extremely inadequate that he/she believes a wonderful group of people are actually a "huge bucketful of wasted cum".

("wasted"? Strange word choice. What would you have done with the excretion?)

[Banned4Life]

Not defending the guy, but can you really not understand the wasted cum insult?

[culleytom]

probably my favourite song by Wild Beasts. It is truly a shame that Assembly isnt on Limbo Panto beacuase i feel that it woul fit nicely between tracks 7&8.

[DaAliminator]

no it isnt

[XmummraX]

like Queen rolled in glitter and Disney

[whothennow24]

Dude, yes! This song reminds me of Queen's "Seaside Rendezvous" or "Dazing on a Sunday Afternoon."

[MirumeXChaos]

Although I wished this song was on the album.

[interpolluter29]

The song is now on the new Brave Bulging Buoyant Clairvoyants EP, with "Sylvia" and "Treacle Tin".

[Steoandnoodles]

this one is great, they are really improving on there genre.

[yerbafran]

easily my favorite song at the moment !

[ollieslade]

i just fucking love wild beasts!

[insulapufoasasiroz]

they have a very interesting sound, and i'm sure we'll hear more from them :)

in a way, they have something in common with animal collective. ( and i'm not talking about domino records :P )

['brave bulging buoyant clairvoyants' it's already in my favorites list :D]

[OhSoKatie]

This song is on my work tape in Topshop. Really catchy, makes me smile!

[interpolluter29]

I certainly wonder what else they have to offer. (Perhaps, a likely album?) It's peppy and so original no other band would have risked the falsetto vocals idea. Oh well.

[MirumeXChaos]

The piano piece stands out. I love it.

[phobia619]

he first achieved that pitch when a piano fell on and solely on his testicles :(-%

[tum666]

ouch

[GoodSoulDept]

Only a man with huge balls can sing falsetto and pull it off, honey.

This is one such instance.

[Bimkovitz]

It's alright I suppose, but it's really hard to take the song seriously. It sounds like a parody of...something. I don't know what.

[interpolluter29]

Tiny Tim, Bimkovitz?

[Bimkovitz]

Haha, yeah. Are they attempting to sound like that?

[interpolluter29]

If they are, they are taking quite a risk in music. As well as bringing back the power of falsetto vocals.

[tum666]

definately tiny tim

[smitchington000]

This REALLY reminds me of the part in It's Always Sunny In Philadephia where Charlie forms to bands with the gang and they perform in the bar.

Probably just me, though...great song nonetheless!

[lucasjamaicobs22]

wild beasts are english (from Kendal) not scandinavian!

[6minus3minus2]

True, but this record was recorded in Sweden, so maybe the mustache is a souvenir.

[poloolm]

i guess only scandinavians are allowed to wear moustaches like that

[ebonyse]

sry but if i hear this more than 1 min it drives me crazy...and i think of cut my ears OFF. aaah this noises, aaaah lol

[nathankmart]

wild beasts man

kinda sound like a musical but ya know what everything does

[interpolluter29]

That's what I started thinking.

[Kinderrockss]

this doesnt remind me of queen at all.

its ok i guess.

[buriedcoins]

..Forget all the 'Freddie' comments..just listen to the piano parts,think Macca,think 'White album' great stuff indeed!

[ansumguy454]

Lots of comparisons to Queen in the comments. I don't know if its quite true though. These guys are doing great music, but they are far from Queen or Freddie Mercury. I'd probably lump him in with some of the Indie pop stuff, like Of Montreal, or Calvin Harris. That's just me though. IMO Mika is more like Freddie Mercury than these guys.

[clashcityrocker9]

definately

[Pimaszgrimasz]

lovely horrible song seems like the Queen....but Mercury had a better voice.....^^

[rhiannonisme]

if you don't have anything nice to say... don't say anything at all!If you don't understand why we love it , then thats your loss.

[BraggadocioBordello]

Wonderful. This humour remembers me Madness. Great. Thanks!!!

[Lemossant]

I just randomly clicked this, yet I love it!

xD

[HeidiChiao]

Bizarre, but good.  Reminds me of an indie Queen.

[Adani90]

haha^^ his voice's awesome:D:D n de vid is superb:) i dunno why but somehow it reminds me of Panic! At The Disco^^ haha^^ i think maybe coz that yellow paint on their bodies xDxD haha^^ and just a bit of Queen in the music and the way the guy sings... at least in my opinion^^

[boondocksaintpoop]

shit, this makes my ears fukin hurt, please dont sing anymore

[shadyjd123]

u clearly have no appreciation for good music, and swearing does not make you sound clever.

[duvetdude]

lol i saw them at the guild hall when i went to see maximo park.

[ansumguy454]

lucky you

[colourandcolor]

horrible

[LiamAJobey]

thats fuckin shit

[liederd]

nerds!:P but i like the music..

[DangerousDUD]

foked up:D 3 thumbs up:d

[1873Gerstrueblue]

awesome,brave bulging bouyant clairevoyan is best though.

[stupidgrrr]

holy hell, i hate to sound like a insipid fan-boy.... but at long last this is really music to actually be excited about, for a change.

[Sleep4antRobertz]

Yo I cant find da this song anywhere!

[JohnnyFlorida2000]
