We//Are//Animal Single - High Voltage, June 2010

We//Are//Animal - 1268


We Are Animal (written//like//this//apparently) are, surprisingly, little over six months old and sound greatly accomplished for a band that only formed on the verge of the New Year.

This sample from their debut album (these guys don’t mess around, do they?) is a flurry of acutely performed sounds with dark vocals conjuring up the stark isolation imagined from their alleged treks around the Welsh wilds they hail from.

‘1268’ is delivered with a sense of urgency that seems to summarise the band so accurately; they feel the need to get their ideas recorded quickly which makes for exciting output that thankfully doesn’t come across as rushed or unrealised.

This is high quality, melodic yet angular indie, produced in an impressively quick turnaround, and certainly gives those bigger names who sit on ideas for years something to reflect on.
