The Profile

Wild Beasts were an English art-pop/indie rock band formed in Kendal, Cumbria, featuring Hayden Thorpe, Tom Fleming, Ben Little and Chris Talbot. They released five studio albums on Domino Records between 2008 and 2016 and disbanded in 2018.

English art-pop/indie group from Kendal active 2002–2018; noted for Hayden Thorpe’s falsetto and Tom Fleming’s baritone; released albums on Domino Records including Limbo, Panto, Two Dancers, Smother, Present Tense and Boy King.

Three reviews trace Wild Beasts from the restless opulence of Limbo, Panto to the sleek, adult-pop poise of Two Dancers and the impressionist synth canvases of Present Tense. Critics praise the Thorpe/Fleming vocal contrast, precise production, and 80s-tinged colors. Standout tracks and evolving moods show a band refining art-pop ambition without losing bite.
