Wild Beasts to release new album ‘Smother’ in May

New record set for May 9 release

Wild Beasts will release their third album on May 9.

Called ‘Smother’, the album was penned in six weeks in east London last year and recorded over a month in Snowdonia, Wales with longterm co-producer Richard Formby.

Speaking to NME earlier in the year, co-frontman Tom Fleming said the album has seen the band “spread our wings”.
