Wild Beasts share new video for ‘Mecca’
Wild Beasts are to release Mecca as the third single from their album, Present Tense, on August 4th 2014. The accompanying video was directed by Kate Moross.
Alongside its production (Wild Beasts worked in close collaboration with co-producers Lexxx and Brian Eno protégé Leo Abrahams), Present Tense finds the band at the peak of their considerable songwriting powers – each one of the album’s eleven tracks illuminating the precious, tender, sad and funny moments of modern life in their trademark plain-spoken poetics. The album is available to buy now from Dom Mart and iTunes.
Wild Beasts are currently on tour in Europe and will be back to the UK to perform at Glastonbury on the John Peel Stage. The band have also been invited to play as special guests to Arcade Fire in Hyde Park on July 3rd. Other UK dates include a headline slot at End Of The Road and appearances at Bestival and Liverpool Music Week.
