Our Take

Wild Beasts' latest offering, "Present Tense", is a rollercoaster of a ride through the dazzling minds of this British indie pop quartet. With their unique blend of synth-heavy melodies and ethereal vocals, they take us on a journey that is as unpredictable as it is enthralling.

From the haunting opening track "Wanderlust", which sets the tone for the album with its enigmatic lyrics and pulsating beats, to the infectious energy of "A Simple Beautiful Truth", Wild Beasts effortlessly weave together a tapestry of sounds that keeps the listener on their toes throughout.

Lead singer Hayden Thorpe's falsetto vocals soar over the intricate arrangements, creating a sense of intimacy that draws you in and refuses to let go. The band's knack for crafting catchy hooks is on full display here, with tracks like "Mecca" and "Daughters" sticking in your head long after the music has stopped.

But it's not all sunshine and rainbows on "Present Tense". The band explores darker themes on songs like "Pregnant Pause" and "A Dog's Life", delving into the complexities of love and loss with a rawness that is both unsettling and captivating.

In short, Wild Beasts have once again proven why they are one of the most exciting bands in the indie music scene. "Present Tense" is a thought-provoking, exhilarating listen that demands to be heard. So buckle up and join the ride - you won't regret it.
