Kendal's finest Wild Beasts will release new single 'Albatross' on Monday the 2nd of May 2011, but they're giving it away for FREE on Facebook from today.

The track is taken from the band’s forthcoming album Smother, which will follow on the 9th of May. A very special 7” vinyl version of Albatross will also be available exclusively through Record Store Day outlets on the 16th of April.

The single sees the band shed their old skin for a fresh blueprint, combining their distinctive vocal, piano and guitar driven melodies with lush electronic sounds.
