OK… i’ve been on the road the last three week and sorely neglected by Song of the Day duties. I’ll do my best to not let this happen again.
One of my favorite discoveries of SXSW was Wild Beasts (thanks Jeremiah and Kate for the tip). They played at the Garden Party on Saturday and we made sure we were there on time. The main dudes voice is reminiscent of Antony and the band is British with all kinds of stuff going on. Maybe that’s not the most flattering description but, if you rock “The Devil’s Crayon” there’s a good chance you’ll become a fan. I’m guessing their album will be coming out on Domino in the US soon
