But until the end then just this conclusion is - that here namely a feat was finished and people can not help but be stated precisely this -, is (at least for me, who has for the time being completely driven letting this music indulged) the - in my opinion : extremely hard falling - hurdle on to mark the points where you can moor just that. In this respect also Martins Post my time is extremely likable, because he can easily go through it without too many words, be - to reduce judgment largely on its simple sense - indeed weighty.
One thing is very obvious indeed: the plate is exceptionally gentle and therefore one can thus fall already in considerable difficulties to justify the assumed here feat sufficiently. My related words go so meanwhile: The thing creeps up from behind. And that certainty with which the Wild Beasts always strutting here on the line highest beauty - without even letting this just hanging out the slightest trace of pathos - is wisely the very keen full production owed. This production features that it has understood the lyric assets of this band, a musical wealth of the highest quality, presented in all its severity. Major seems to have been there, their unerring then aspiring small masterpieces in the only conceivable aristocratic calmness perform, which on the one hand did not like necessarily difficult, because in them so nearly everything crackles, but on the other hand could have easily tempted, still draufzulegen a shovel, I care about a "noisy fireworks from a disk" reeling off. But this seemed absolutely just not to have been the intention of the studio occupants - and they did really good on it ... Yes, they have simply gathered!
Assuming that it has so happened that so limiting (in the knowledge of their effects [and thus effect the songs]) was decisive, and they, the band - as a team with their producer -, apparently at all other than the fish from compliments oriented, was turned conceded by me to her side: I get it, this compliments abound. You Are Welcome! Take it! You have something of it deserves!
Because if I or alone on the musical accompaniment of this exceptional voice their interaction aimed (because there's still Tom Fleming, the vocal standard contributes not exactly inconsiderable), I can only state that it is here absolutely brilliantly succeeded. There is nothing - nothing, nothing, nothing - in what would here remind us of ballast in the slightest - feather advised the constantly rough looking pieces, although they can actually come up with tons of story. Straight one is inclined to think of a tribute, a quasi-sacrifice to give more space to the (Lead) singer - did not look here for years attuned to one another band complex and has thus had his major contribution to the creation of this album. In this respect B ullshit with sacrifice.
So, such a delicate voice is best appreciated when it is not encircled by an ocean of sound, but stattdesssen - similar oceanic feelings (as that voice she understands yes as no to exude second) - finely interwoven with textures and sounds on the handset hits. From this perspective, everything besides besides that voice Running on the contrary be considered even as a by no means subordinate; at best it could be so just barely be described as informers. But in reality we are dealing with the pieces on Present Tense with a veritable blueprint allerfeinst chased indie Indieelectronica music; which serves her master wisely, but beyond that full consideration to which hervortuendsten from the ocean of sounds copies of their genus. Say: Here every instrument, every sound to his right and this comes in the only conceivable most pronounced form. As the pieces all hot: each sound is emblazoned and gets space to its disclosure; each instrument can have its full force. Everything has weight. Each tone. And last but not least: Each verse sits.
I want to lash once more there: Present Tense lives of its nuances. It is archaic and opulent at the same time. Whoever does not understand this tandem, yet is curious, however, be warned: Present Tense is almost perfect. Dangerous perfect. If one has this music once downed, likely to be another lost in this field for many.
