This live recording captures a band in the midst of a radical identity shift.

Recorded at London's Roundhouse during the Apple Music Festival, it serves as a high-fidelity testament to the Wilder Mind era. Gone are the frantic banjo arpeggios and the rustic, foot-stomping folk that defined their early career.

In their place is a wall of sound built on overdriven electric guitars, atmospheric synthesizers, and a much heavier, more traditional rock drum kit. The energy is palpable, but it is a different kind of heat: less like a campfire and more like a stadium light show.

Moments Worth Listening For
The moment the distorted bass kicks in on 'The Wolf', signaling the band's departure from their acoustic roots.
The soaring three-part harmonies during the bridge of 'Believe' that fill the entire sonic space of the Roundhouse.
The transition from a sparse electric piano intro to a full-band explosion in the middle of 'Ditmas'.
