For a band that won the US equivalent of the Mercury Music Prize (The Shortlist Prize) with their debut album, Desperate Youth, Bloodthirsty Babes, TVOTR remain a curiously unknown entity here in the UK. With their second album, Return From Cookie Mountain, and this, the first single to be taken from it, the black Radiohead should be firmly establishing themselves on Britains musical map.

Always challenging and somewhat experimental, Wolf Like Me is about as close to conventional rock music as TVOTR ever come - hence its non-surprise single release. But this sure isn't a verse/chorus sing-along: fevered drums are joined by bludgeoning guitar to create a frighteningly intense groove that is built up and torn down throughout the course of the song.

The production is polished and expansive and the depth and passion of the music is simply extraordinary. For those that enjoy music that pushes the experimental envelope a little bit, TVOTR are a truly essential band and Wolf Like Me demonstrably proves that.
