We Are Animal | BARRYGRUFF

It’s been a while since hearing from We Are Animal but the Welsh 5 piece are busy working on a new album and follow up to, the excellent debut, Idolise.

These Welsh wizards cook up something intrinsically curious, unusual and organic. Writing and recording mountainous region of Snowdonia, North Wales, this relative isolationism has done nothing to subdue the rampant creativity, in fact, their surroundings seem to inspire and add something special to the music.

This brings us to the new tracks. Their approach hasn’t changed much, say for the tapered abrasiveness and more controlled sound, they continue their foray through an explicit DIY attitude. The dark and trippy ‘Indus Seal’ has something of spaghetti western frontier vibe to it while ‘Royal Wolf’ trots along a similar trail and rhythmic groove.

A new record from We Are Animal can’t come quick enough, the band and their music is deserving of much greater notoriety and acclaim too.

Welsh eccentrics We Are Animal are back with a new single, ‘Luminous Lights’.

They will be looking to build on the successes of their wonderful debut from last year, Idolise. Once again they’ve conjured up something rather exciting and curious; guttural melodies mixed with jolts of guitars, fast riffs and heavy bass lines perturbing to a rock n roll freak out. There are obvious hints of the Super Furry Animals at play, most likely due to a noticeably Welsh brogue but there’s nothing wrong with that now is there?

‘Work’ has appeared on the bands soundcloud too, one can only assume it will accompany ‘Luminous Lights’ as a b-side.

‘Luminous Lights’ is released on June 5th.
