After five studio albums, UK indie outfit Wild Beasts are calling it quits.

Taking to Facebook today (September 25), the band delivered the news in a statement, which can be found below. "The four of us have decided, for our own reasons and in our own ways, that it is now time to leave this orbit," it reads. "We're care takers for something precious and don't want to have it diminish as we move forward with out lives."

All five of the band's full-length LPs arrived through Domino, beginning with 2008's Limbo, Panto. Most recently, they delivered their Boy King LP last year.

The band added that "before we go, we'd like to celebrate with you," with "further announcements" to come.
