Following the dissolution of beloved indie group Wild Beasts, vocalist Tom Fleming stepped out on his own with One True Pairing, his debut solo album released on Domino in 2019. Produced and mixed by Ben Hillier, the record draws on an anti-nostalgic palette of sounds rooted in the Reagan and Thatcher eras — think Bruce Springsteen, Tom Petty, and Depeche Mode — weaving them into something distinctly modern and personal.
Praised by The Quietus as "excellent" and highlighted by Clash for its "surprisingly confrontational" meditation on class frustration and self-despair, One True Pairing is a bold and emotionally rich debut. Fleming's artful blending of electronics with raw, everyman storytelling creates a compelling tension between artificiality and authenticity, making this a standout rock and pop record well worth seeking out.
