Animal, Surrender! :: A Boot For Every Bane

aquariumdrunkard.com/2025/10/07/a...

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.

Had a great time chatting w @jefito.com from @harmonic.fm the other day. 🙏

Harmonic @harmonic.fm · 13d

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.

i've been dreaming of a pedal steel led jamming band for so long that i think at first i may've been a tad suspicious of the barry walker unit (the rose city band reconfigured), but this is some deep, gorgeous improv & i'm happy to be in their dream instead.
