39. Wild Beasts - Smother
Wild Beasts was one of the highlights of Austin City Limits this year. I've been listening to these guys for a few years now, but seeing them live helped cement them in my iPod. They are from Kendal in Cumbria, England. The band consists of Hayden Thorpe (vocals), Ben Little (guitar), Chris Talbot (drummer), and Tom Fleming (bass). I'm not sure how to characterize their sound. Sort of Talking Headsie with a hint of Elbow and some intricate rhythms and electronics mixed in. The band often changes instruments through performance and, though quirky (which I love) are incredibly listenable and enjoyable.
