    Wild Beasts have undergone a sea change, and this beautiful album is a treasure that deserves plundering.
  2. No Ripcord

    Only one year later and we have Two Dancers an album so laden with lush densities and provocative melodies that you would be forgiven for thinking this album had taken ten years to make.

    It's a strange state of affairs, a band that really come into their own when they background their greatest asset. But there's a lesson in there: sometimes, less is more.

    The most brilliant, British masterpiece. The Wild Beasts are exceptional on this record. Their music is blindingly atmospheric and at times eerie, yet equally it is primal and powerful with the growl of a beast rumbling in its underbelly. Not only this but their lyrical prowess is on full form. Put this album on, loud and loose yourself in the milky light of the mighty moon.… Expand

    My God, Wild Beasts, what have you done? You've just created something you can never beat, some masterpiece that you will never recover from! In the meantime, we can listen to it, to its beautifully crafted songs, to its wonderful lyrics, and its dangerous melodies. An album to listen when it rains, when it's sunny and when you're drunk and nobody will sleep with you.… Expand
