Boy King

by Wild Beasts

Collaborating with renowned pop producer John Congleton, the English indie-rock outfit drastically pivots into sleazy, heavily distorted synthesizer funk. The album functions as a highly cynical, theatrical concept record explicitly critiquing toxic masculinity, internet-age narcissism, and aggressive sexual machismo. While earning significant praise for its conceptual daring, it ultimately proved to be the band's final studio album before disbanding.
