Today’s song is “Strange Attracter” by Animal Kingdom. Animal Kingdom is made up of Richard Sauberlich (Vocals/Guitar/Piano), Hamish Crombie (Bass) and Geoff Lea (Drums). This song is off the band’s sophomore album The Looking Away which saw its physical release in late July via Boombox/Mom+Pop. This album is a follow up to the band’s 2009 debut album, Signs and Wonders. Animal Kingdom’s music is dreamingly vigorous, glistening indie rock that sticks with you upon first listen.
The band is also currently on the road for their Summer North American headline tour which will go until August 26th (see dates below). Aside from their current tour, Animal Kingdom will be making appearances at this year’s Lollapalooza on August 3rd, the Outsidelands Music and Arts Festival in San Francisco, CA on August 11th.
