More Wild Beasts More Wild Beasts

British rockers Wild Beasts shift from indie-rock to art-pop throughout this synth-filled album, creating a delightful, refreshing and addictive sound that'll keep you coming back for more.

Ponytail gives off the indie-rock vibe with Hayden Thorpe's deep, dreamy vocals, while synths and electric guitars mix to create a rocking beat in Tough Guy. Gender stereotypes are played around with in Alpha Female while the rest of the album explores modern day struggles with masculinity. Moving piano ballad Dreamliner ends the album on a high. With its beautiful lyrics, hidden synths and simplicity, this closer packs a punch.
