Animal

The acclaimed collaborative project uniting folk singer-songwriter Laura Marling and Tunng's Mike Lindsay returned with a deeply vibrant, surreal sophomore album. The record relies on heavily syncopated, pulsing electronic rhythms and analog synthesizers, providing a strange, kaleidoscopic backdrop for Marling's detached, poetic lyrical observations about psychoanalysis and animalistic instincts. It acts as a brilliantly quirky, avant-pop divergence from both artists' primary work.
