Critically-acclaimed Brit-band Wild Beasts showed up on KCRW’s Morning Becomes Eclectic yesterday in support of their most recent album, Present Tense.  As mentioned in their interview with MBE, this album was given more time to gestate than prior records.  The band, Hayden Thorpe (vocals, guitar, bass, keys), Tom Fleming (vocals, guitar, bass, keys), Chris Talbot (drums) and Ben Little (guitar, keys) took a full year from touring to created and record the album.  To get a feel check out their ’80s synth-pop-esque performance below of track Wanderlust.  It’s a builder, and sounds like a great mix of ABC, Soft Cell, and Ultravox, and the vocals of Orange Juice.  If you want to hear the remainder of their session, go over to KCRW HERE.

After, you can watch the official video for Wanderlust and listen to another strong song (Sweet Spot) off of Present Tense.
