Wild Beasts’ new video for Present Tense cut “Palace” is like a nightmare version of a game show. Which according to the members is exactly the vibe they were going for.

“The idea of the video was to match the feel of a cheap game show with the content of a rather cruel psychological experiment. The content was unknown to us before the shoot; we were kept in a closed room until we were filmed, one by one, in a single take,” says the band via Facebook. “What you see is us being introduced to the content for the first time and our genuine reactions to the objects and people involved. We wanted to make something that felt like an event and a sort of project, rather than what passes for a traditional music video.” 

Check out the clip below. Present Tense is out now on Domino.
