Animal, Surrender! :: A Boot For Every Bane

Not sure how many eight-string bass / pipe organ / drums trios there are out there, but I’m going to go ahead and declare the Brooklyn-based Animal, Surrender! as the very best of them all.

The second pressing of ‘Art History’ has arrived, and it’s quite possibly the coolest vinyl variant we’ve done.

Continued listening suggestions if you really want to ride this vibe into the sunset are the new Bitchin Bajas LP and the Birney-Willen tape that are both also out today on someone else's dime and fully worth your time.

You don't hear many albums that feature the eight-string bass as a lead instrument, and fewer still that incorporate the mighty hum of the pipe organ. @jefito.com interviewed Peter Kerlin of Animal, Surrender!, discussing their new album (available tomorrow) and creating art honestly.

new Aitis Band video for "Dan" rules: "Dan is a handful of those memories that pop up every year or two. The ones that make you feel weird or wonder if you might have been in love. Our response is like, oh yeah yeah yeah."

I want to point out something very cool & admirable:

Tropical Fuck Storm have different openers for just about every show of the tour. They’re giving bands like us a chance to reach new audiences, play big stages, & are really helping up-&-coming bands.

That shit is RARE & so very commendable ❤️

Perennial @perennialtheband.bsky.social · 21d

The Perennial Sound returns to Brattleboro supporting TROPICAL FUCK STORM!
