Take a peek at the dark new video for Cass McCombs' "The Executioner's Song," directed by Aaron Brown (who also directed Cass' "Dreams-Come-True-Girl" video).

"The Executioner's Song" appears on Cass' latest album, Catacombs, available now through the Domino Mart.

"Hooting & Howling" is equal parts statement of intent and the celebration of a state of mind. A staring match between Hayden Thorpe's falsetto at its most lascivious and Benny Little's "equally elegant and ugly" (to quote the song) guitar, it builds into a tangible sense of pleasure and chaos. It's the first single from the Wild Beasts' new album, Two Dancers, available in the US on September 8th.
