Wild Beasts
Already considered to be one of contemporary Britain's most innovative and vital bands, with the release of their fourth album, Present Tense, Wild Beasts are attaining remarkable new heights.
Present Tense is a dramatically new album – taking cues from the most intense and effervescent of 1980s and 1990s electronic sound but rethinking and retooling these elements with exquisite detail for the 21st century. Each song illuminates the precious, tender, sad and funny moments of modern life in their trademark plain-spoken poetics.
Wild Beasts are a band at the peak of their powers, forging a new sound in British music and earning themselves a devoted following and heaps of critical praise along the way. They continue to beguile fans across the globe with their dramatic, intelligent and intimate sounds and an ever-increasing collection of top reviews from The NME, The Guardian, The Quietus, Drowned in Sound, Mojo, Uncut and so many more, securing their place not only as one of the top acts of 2014, but of the last decade.
“Present Tense shows that their confidence has grown to match their ambition, and it is plainly their best album yet.”
- The Guardian
“This intimate, intelligent album boasts that rarest quality in 21st century rock music: inimitability.”
- Mojo
