Wild Beasts announce new album, share video for 'Wanderlust'

Returning from a sustained absence with a follow-up to 2011's Smother, majestic Leeds-based indie four-piece Wild Beasts have announced their new album this week. Present Tense is out on 25 February via Domino.

Their fourth studio album will be released on deluxe vinyl with an accompanying 12" featuring remixes by Factory Floor and Swedish producer The Field. The album was produced by Lexx (Jessie Ware, Bjork, Soulwax) and Leo Abrahams (Brian Eno, Imogen Heap, Jon Hopkins).

Wild Beasts will tour to promote the new album, stopping at Manchester's Albert Hall on 26 March, and Glasgow's The Arches on 27 March.
