Other Animals



Other Animals is an awesome math rock band out of Illinois.  This quartet, comprised of three brothers and a close friend,  released their first album last year and  they've been heavy in my rotation ever since.

Using an excavation office in the Chicago suburbs as a practice space, Other Animals spent two years writing and perfecting their album.  They played their material so much over those two years that when it came time to record the album the whole process was completed in four days.  That's tracking and mixing included people.  Most of the album is actually live and it sounds great.

So collect some hipster points(example) and check out this relatively unheard of band. The best part is they are giving a digital copy of their album away for free on their website.  So head on over there and snag the album.  While you're there check out their (unfortunately slim) tour dates.   Hopefully there will be more to come.
