The next single that Wild Beasts will release from Smother will be 'Reach A Bit Further'. That comes out on November 14, digitally and on 12" vinyl. The b-side to the track, however, is a new one and one which can be streamed now. It's called 'Thankless Thing' and was recorded with Richard Formby at the start of the sessions which eventually birthed Smother. Listen to it below:
