Wild Beasts - A Simple Beautiful Truth

“A Simple Beautiful Truth” is one of the many highlights off Wild Beasts’ fantastic new album Present Tense.

It’s just received the music video treatment, and what an odd, but enjoyable, one it is. Directed by Klaus Thymann & Mike Hughes, the video sees the band in wacky outfits dancing along the mountainside of Wales. Here’s how the band describe the video:

We were inspired enough by the absurdist approach taken by Talking Heads to don electric suits and dance in the ether on the top of a Beacons mountain. We wanted to capture the weightlessness of a song like ‘A Simple Beautiful Truth,’ to attempt something so ridiculous as to be sublime. The experience was strangely liberating and we asked ourselves why we hadn’t done this before.

It’s a very joyous watch, perfectly emulating the emotive of the song.
