Last summer, I was playing the last Wild Beasts record quite a bit. It's an unearthly sounding sort of release.
Now that band have turned their hand to remixing London's 2:54. 2:54 are on tour now -- they're stopping in my old hometown of Washington, D.C. too -- and the band is getting a lot of press these days.
2:54 make music that echoes the past but the mix of influences is a nice one. Fans of both The Long Blondes and Ladytron, for example, could find much to love in the slightly sinister tracks of 2:54.
