Wild Beasts, a basement live session (Télérama)

[jandarkofficial]

This shits on everything from a great height.

[MitziTsetse]

TOM'S HAT!

[linagguz]

My wedding vows someday! I love this band

[indievampire]

I dont want they to be huge ;[ I want they to keep walking to their music and their way like this... don't be huge don't be the star just be the cloud on the sky.

[indievampire]

@indievampire and we can see they all day all night…. and can feel touching.

[OfficialZafaBlack]

Fuck. Why isn't this band huge...so much talent, so much fucking talent.

[lickmyfart]

Damn these bros have some good voices

[omorhy]

Fantastic!  what a talent!

[warrenmusic]

What a weird tuning...

[indievampire]

lay down on the grown,look up to the sky HAPPY, PEAE.....Wonderful World.

[dani200666]

My heart is actually aching.

[csrahamkara]

their music is just perfect

[MelPullThePin]

I didn't think I could love "Reach a Bit Further" anymore.

The word 'perfection' does not do justice to this band...this is just...unreal...

[eadstokes]

Has anyone figured out the tabs for reach a bit further?

[Pablopa999]

@eadstokes Just use the right tuning (DGDGA#D), it's really easy after you got that.

[eadstokes]

@Pablopa999 thanks man, but you overestimate my talent haha. would you be able to let me know the finger positioning if its not too much trouble?

? I'll be able to work out the finger picking part.

[Pablopa999]

@eadstokes Sure: 0-12-12-0-12-0

0-10-12-0-14-0

13-12-0-12-0-0

0-10-10-0-11-0

7-6-0-7-0-0

On the last one I might have mistaken a few frets up or down, I don't have my guitar here,you try for yourself the order of the chords andth finger pattern



[MyEyesOpenForAMoment]

This is fucking brilliant!

[LukeCowanMusic]

can't wait to watch them at the cambridge corn exchange in november.

[OmegaLara685]

Dowwnload the audio from this vid at tubepull doht cohm.

[orangespiderz]

The raw, acoustic versions of these songs are so captivating.

Their voices make me feel like I'm in another place without even trying.

[PoisonedApathy]

Everyone who thinks there isn't any poetry and magic left in the world should watch this. Beautiful to no end.

[GTFRANKS]

id love tom to sit down and showme how to play reach a bit further, its bloody gorgeous



[demoncd]

jesus lads how did you do this?

would'ew loved tpo have been there for the creaion. genuis

[demoncd]

Holy shit!!!!!!!!!! i had given up on modern bands. but you guys are beyond anything i've heard in a generation.

i remember sitting around stoned hanging out and singing and lyrics like this...you guys have captured all this and much more.

Absolutely love it!!!!

[pureecstasy]

reduced to a puddle and never feelin better

[rodrigocs666]

oh boy! when Fleming comes in with "yes I will do all the things that you ask of me" it's so precious I mean what a voice, terrific

[gingerginge2]

does anyone know where Tom got his jacket? i am dying here!

[stevebarry]

most bands would kill just for 1 singer as brilliant as either of these fantastic voices.

also...would love these to bring out al of this acoustic stuff on cd.

[Zar1987]

@stevebarry oh yeah it's true their voice complete each other.... they're greats!

[8a83101]

@stevebarry couldnt agree more

[stevebarry]

most bands would kill just for 1 singer as brilliant as either of these fantastic voices.

[Zvanunhoft]

the singing reminds me of Dredg. Sorry.  Not bad though.

[jamessalford]

Smother = Best album of 2011 so far

[nickg1532]

Goosebumps at "olive branch"

[goober2611]

hohoho ^^

[StandardofPurity]

@mulanjamidong fleet foxes...

[HomeroRamirezT]

@StandardofPurity are not as good as Wild Beast

[StandardofPurity]

@HomeroRamirezT I know, I was replying to a post that was talking about the best albums of 2011 and he forgot fleet foxes

[DomSaget]

@mulanjamidong I love all the album on the list, but I'm adding the Arctic Monkeys, Wu Lyf and Kurt Vile

[Seagerash]

amazing

[11monkeymama]

bliss. pure bliss.

[lordaugustine]

Actually, i'm listening the whole album Smoother once every 2 hours !!!!!

[mulanjamidong]

@lordaugustine wow :D

[mindyfully]

im actually listening to deeper at least 10 times a day right now

[booitslou93]

Hayden! I'm loving the beard!

[Quinnpie]

Tom Fleming doesn't get enough credit for his voice. It's all about Hayden Thorpe's (which is infinitely beautiful), but Fleming's is just as encapsulating.

[nickg1532]

@Quinnpie They're both great, and the best part is how well they complement one another.

[TonyDanza76]

@Quinnpie I think Tom Fleming's appeal for me is that his Northern accent comes through beautifully and what a lovely accent it is. The texture of his voice is throaty but soft and rich ..... his opening lyrics to 'Reach a Bit Further' are, for me, believeable as a possible partner and the promises he's making. That said, I love Hayden's voice too, especially with 'Loop the Loop'.

[water4sure]

@Quinnpie Totally agree. Tom's voice also shines in smother!!

[sickcellmate]

@Quinnpie absolutely, he balances Thorpe's high voice out and his voice makes all the songs so much more intimate. It's as if Thorpe is the sensual and Fleming is the emotional part of their music. They are the best vocal duo out there.

[andrewdfarley]

this is sexy. wild beasts are incredible!

[JunderscoreA]

Literally had shivers down my neck the whole time.

[nickg1532]

"Reach a Bit Further" is the best song on the new album imo

[ReelMovieAirbags]

@nickg1532 I agree.

[t1n86]

breathtaking!

[babaupede]

this is mind blowing. these guys are infinitely talented

[invictorium]

actually wow. Just wow. Honestly just immensely overwhelmed.

[clairemorrison]

They never fail to amaze me <3

[olliet101]

Smother is amazing, go on Pitchfork and there's a link to a stream of it on there under news.

I must have listened to it 7 times now, album of the year so far and finally one that has lived up to its hype!

[mluvian6]

Absurdly Amazing !

[emma0llew]

I love you guys! <3

[10pinsam]

Christ on a fuckin bike. Smother is going to be amazing. <3

[newgolddream81828384]

Lovely stuff - the whole 'Smother' album is in this vein - quite superb. Looking forward to hearing some of these tracks being played live in Ulverston, Cumbria on Saturday

[latchmere95]

Utterly sublime! Can't wait to hear the tracks live with the whole band.

[ClaudiaHoekstra]

It really is devastatingly beautiful :)

Love it!

[testcardgirl26]

BEAUTIFUL ;_;



[triumphasful]

this is incredible, they are posibbly the most mightiest act right now, truly godly
