Wild Beasts: NPR Music Field Recordings

You can be 10 feet from The Campbell Apartment, a bar tucked into the corner of New York s Grand Central Station, and not have any idea it s there. The office of a member of the New York Central Railroad s Board Of Directors in the 1920s (and later a storage closet and a jail), the room is intimate in spite of its 25foot ceilings and the enormous leadedglass window that faces Vanderbilt Avenue. For the decade it s been making music, the English band Wild Beasts has been touched by a similar antiqueness.
