Well, it’s certainly a bit of a way from “Brave Bulging Buoyant Clairvoyants”, that’s true enough. “Albatross” is the latest from the Wild Beasts (and first video from upcoming third LP Smother). The song takes a definite turn for the melancholic, while the video is laden with symbolism that’s as muted in colour as the song is sombre in tone.

Smother will be out on 9th May.
