“Songs In the Key of Animals”

MERGE - AVAILABLE NOW!

The album has a summertime immediacy but an evergreen resonance. It’s clever but too deep for punchlines. It’s eccentric but never forced in its strangeness. It’s the kind of record that reminds us music can be fun without being empty. It’s an album full of peacocks and sharks and zebras and tigers, but ultimately, it’s about us. Songs in the Key of Animals taps into something beyond just intellect or trend or taste. It’s all about the feel, the connection between the player, the music, and the listener.
