"How the prayer rubs the rosary. How the make up make her face pretty. Oh! How we have an underbelly, bitten by brutality. How there´s guts fried up. How lothario leers at slut. Oh! How we have an underbelly, bitten by brutality." From Wild Beast´s `Underbelly´ from the album `Two Dancers´.
With lyrics like the one shown above, is no surprise that this Indie Brit band won me over with their explosive wittiness and their unusual sound. It was a major discovery for me back in 2002, and trust me, their latest album(Two Dancers) is a real treasure, filled with gems such as `We still got the taste dancing in our tongues´ or `Two Dancers Part I and II´. For those of you that are not familiar with the band, think of the perfect mixture of Bee Gees and the Communers with a hint of Anthony and the Johnsons or The Dears(another favourite of mine!) on their sound.
