More Sythesizer you used for their soft, warm tones. Unexcited come therefore nevertheless tricky as reduced-produced songs. Very good complementarity between the two singers Hayden Thorpe and Tom Fleming. Thorpe's falsetto again reached dizzying heights and then Flemings baritone to be grounded. Precise the drums and synth effects come along.
A discreet, elegant and graceful album with an intense atmosphere and beauty is "Present Tense" become. The grand spectacle are nowhere. Cheap sensationalism is alien to them.
Wiled Beasts have their own special style found they continue to develop. After similarly strong "Smother" they have again risen with "Present Tense" a shovel. In my opinion, the best album of the band from England.
