Wild Beasts have been steadily writing, recording, and touring for the past five years-- since some of their members were 16. The Leeds quartet have released a series of EPs, and they'll soon get a chance to issue their debut full-length on a new label: Domino Records.

The Beasts migrate to Domino from Bad Sneakers Records, which will release their second single on April 23 with A-side "Through Dark Night" and B-side "Please, Sir".

The band have scattered tour dates in England, including one supporting new labelmates Clinic at London's Scala, and their upcoming show at the Faversham in Leeds will double as a launch party for the Bad Sneakers single.

Pitchfork glowingly reviewed the band's debut single, "Brave Bulging Buoyant Clairvoyants", late last year; read about it here.
