Maccabees, The - Given To The Wild

Review by Evert Sandye Taasiringan

The Maccabees' third album, Given to the Wild, is an exploration of the band's evolving sound and a testament to their growth as musicians. The album features a range of musical influences, from the soaring choruses of "Pelican" and "Child" to the moody, introspective tracks like "Glimmer" and "Forever I've Known".

The album's production is consistently impressive, with the band's lush instrumentation and layered vocals creating a rich and dynamic sound. The Maccabees' songwriting is also on point, with lyrics that are both poetic and relatable.
