Wild Beasts have announced the follow-up to their successful 2011 album Smother will be called Present Tense and is due out on 24 February via Domino.
Smother was the bands biggest hit yet, so expectations are high for the new album – which was recorded at London’s Konk Studios with the help of producers Lexxx and Brian Eno associate Leo Abrahams.
Wild Beasts have also released ‘Wanderlust’ – a slow burning and tense track – as the lead single.
