Wild beasts are an indie rock band from Kendal, England. Established in 2002 by Hayden Thorpe and Ben Little were signed by Bad Sneakers Records in August 2006, two years after drummer Chris Bert joined them. In 2005, Tom Flemming joined as bassist therefore completing the band.
'Brave bulging buoyant clairvoyants' was first released in 2006 with Band sneakers records, and then again in 2008 with Domino records, which the band signed with in February 2007. The second version of the music video if very different from the first, although both feature the band in a performance, the more modern second video is much more technical and artistic. The music video, directed by OneInThree, features members of the band spiraling in photo frames, the frames change every couple of sentences and the scenery in the background also changes. The video uses a very complicated technique named the 'Droste effect'.
I think that the Wild beasts chose to re-release the song with this video because they wanted to re-invented themselves as a more modern group with a more interesting group. The song was released for the second time to coincide with their tour with 'Foals'.
