According to singer Hayden Thomas, Wild Beasts‘ new tune “Get My Bang” has a deep psychological meaning despite the fun-loving nature of the music video (which was released on the same day).
Thomas said: “It’s all about the horrific lengths you have to go to to get gratification in today’s society where we can’t live out these Byronic characters, so we have to go shopping and fight each other over TVs to satisfy the id, that primal part — that’s how people get off” which is, in my opinion, an alluring detail almost on par with the video’s seductive visuals.
Additionally, Wild Beasts used this opportunity to announce their upcoming album Boy King which will be released on August 5 (pre-order here).
