Wild Beasts have announced that they are to split. The band issued a statement yesterday, in which they said that they have decided that “it is now time to leave this orbit”.
In a statement the band said: “Wild Beasts are coming to an end. Our hearts and minds have been devoted to the band since we were teenagers. We’ve created something quite of our own and built a body of work we stand by as heartfelt and true”.
They continued: “The four of us have decided, for our own reasons and in our own ways, that it is now time to leave this orbit. We’re caretakers to something precious and don’t want to have it diminish as we move forward in our lives”.
Before they make the split final, the band have announced that they will head out on a farewell tour in February next year. They will also release an EP of outtakes from last album, ‘Boy King’, titled ‘Punk, Drunk And Trembling’, on 20 Oct. From that, this is the title track:
