But what may perhaps reflect the bright colors of the artwork, is the stronger addition of electronic sounds and synthesizers. The discovery of these instruments and possibilities of evolution played a major role for the future of the band that was in question after 2011 appeared Smother. Fortunately - albeit planned otherwise - remain guitars and (rarely) and the piano at the heart of their sound.
The result is therefore not a 180 degree turn, but since the latest Two Dancers already consolidated, adult Sound has once again refined. For fans, many rhythms like sound at home safely, such as formed from drums and percussions beat the great Nature Boy. The subtle use of synths refreshes the whole but again the times, which is why - even total - attentive listening and observing this beautiful Details recommends. Not to be missed are particularly exciting the break, the Daughters can break or the masterful tone changes and disturbances in A Dogs Life. Much danceable as these two mid-tempo tracks trots the first single Wanderlust thereof whose choral samples and Ian Thorpe's delicate falsetto create a tense atmosphere.
At the microphone again alternated regularly, so is to enjoy fortunately almost equally impressive Tom Fleming, smoky voice; mainly due to the slower pieces. You like it has always been a little better. In best case, however, Thorpe and Fleming play the ball to. As in the well poppigsten moment of the album, A Simple Beautiful Truth, in its verses harmonize both vocal levels or fluent answer each other in the chorus.
Present Tense liked already at the first hearing and expecting incredibly well. The switch between easily accessible pieces (Mecca) and moments, in which one can be fooled equally wonderful (New Life) is to the point and let me once again ask what level of perfection Wild Beasts can probably achieve in the future? I stick to it and enjoy the present. 5 Stars.
