Still Animals - Still Animals (2024)

This one came out two weeks ago, kinda bubbled under at first, then quickly grew on me. It’s the Still Animals’ self-titled debut LP. The band from Missouri is a mix of veteran presence and young blood, which may explain how the ten songs sound old fashioned yet lively. This is stripped down garage rock-‘n’-roll that is pretty ugly (in a good way), and Still Animals Look Kool, and sound fun. Though perhaps technically, garage is an incorrect description as the band recorded the LP in a 130 year old limestone Mound City basement. And no, I do not have information about the current state of the limestone.
