Despite receiving huge amounts of acclaim for their recent studio album 'Boy King' last year, Wild Beasts have now announced that they plan to call it a day.

In a printed note posted on their Twitter page, the band state that they are planning to "leave this orbit”, which I guess is a very Wild Besats way of saying they are breaking up. But it doesn't look like it is completely over yet as they end the note with the promise of "further announcements", so it looks like a farewell tour is probably on the cards as well.

Read the note for yourselves below, and also check out the video for the brilliant 'Get My Bang' in the player.
