Wolf Gang - "Lions in Cages"

Out of the UK, Wolf Gang sounds like a mash of Duran Duran and Arcade Fire, modernizing 80's pop.  They're touring in London right now as word slowly spreads to the states about this group and how obviously popular they're going to be.  Lead man Max McElligot, who now plays alongside three other permanent members after initially doing much of the work on his own, spent the past year or so working with the same guy that produced MGMT and The Flaming Lips, Dave Fridmann, to finish Suego Faults, the LP that's expected to be released early 2011.  Check out this, the first single from that album, "Lions in Cages."

To help catch you up, below is the song and video, "All the Kings Men," one of a few singles Wolf Gang released over the past year as they burst onto the scene.  It's the movie Eyes Wide Shut transformed into a music video, and it works very well.
