Melbourne septet Animaux have quite the reputation at the moment, evidenced by their countless sold-out residencies at live music institutions in their hometown, Melbourne, as well as their much-hyped about performances at music festivals across Australia.
Previously known for their energetic, groovy tracks, Animaux's latest single "Alaska" conjures images of vast mountain landscapes to which the listener can escape, according to the band. It signals a new depth to their sound and songwriting, featuring sparse instrumentation, beautiful vocals, and delicate piano work, which slowly rise over the course of this four-minute long slow burner before reaching a huge climax.
If "Alaska" is any representation of things to come, you'll probably want to catch Animaux live before they explode. As well as supporting the Cat Empire for their upcoming Melbourne dates, you can catch them
here.
