Wild Beasts: "All the King's Men" (MP3)

1:48 p.m. · August 6, 2009 · by Andrew Winistorfer

Yesterday, we brought your attention to the Daytrotter Session by great British band Wild Beasts, and today comes the MP3 of "All the King's Men," the second single from their superb sophomore album, Two Dancers. Bassist Tom Fleming handles most of the singing on "All the King's Men," which builds itself on the brittle guitar lines, theatrical lyrics and singing about girls, and insistent drumming, just like the band's best singles. It's a more active single than "Hooting & Howling."

Two Dancers, the follow-up toLimbo, Panto, is due out on Sept. 8 via Domino. [Stereogum]
