Present Tense

by Wild Beasts

Present Tense cover art

Co-produced with Lexxx, the acclaimed British quartet transitions further away from organic rock instrumentation toward sleek, meticulously sequenced electronic pop. The record embraces warm analog synthesizers and drum machines while continuing to highlight the incredibly distinct, intertwining vocal deliveries of Hayden Thorpe and Tom Fleming. The lyricism acts as a sophisticated, poetic examination of modern masculinity and digital-age romance.
