I’ve been listening to a lot of happy music this month. That’s a trend I don’t want to end just yet, and it’s a trend that Wolf Gang perpetuates with excellent single “The King And All Of His Men.”
Think the glitzy pop of The Killers without the self-seriousness, or MGMT minus the heavy beats (maybe even a little bit of Empire of the Sun?), “King And All Of His Men” rocks out with pounding piano chords, swirling synths, and epic “oohs.” The sound is unique, catchy, and just BIG.
This is full, expansive, music, building towards an ending complete with tribal drums, hand-claps, choral harmonies, and layers and layers of sound. “King” will surely be filling arenas, and should be filling your iPod headphones for the rest of the day, if not the year.

I LOVE this song! I’ve never heard of Wolf Gang before, thank you for the stunning introduction.
holy shit, this song just “killed it.”
xx u/o
omg what is he doing to that poor cat? regardless… I <3 this so much.
This sounds like one of those great songs that should be on Gossip Girl.
Sounds like Come On Eileen!!
Never heard of him before. Great song!
P.S.: That cat is hilarious!

He kind of feels like a more serious Mika… At least with this song. Good stuff.
