Stream: Noah and the Whale – “Wild Thing”

Aside from a preview of the Tom Petty-invoking song “L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N.” on Zane Lowe’s radio show the other day, this is our first taste from Noah and the Whale’s forthcoming album, Last Night On Earth. Fans of The First Days of Spring single “Blue Skies” should have no trouble adjusting to this cut with its similar sparse and patient rhythm punctuated by Charlie Fink’s mournful deep-toned guitar riffs over a bed of light synth. I’m hearing a little Petty in this tune, as well, which, given the catchy hook, is a promising glimpse at the full-length on the way. Hear it in the cassette widget above and download a copy here.
