We are so happy we can’t stop tapping our toes and we can’t stop singing along to these animal songs! Welcome our new aaahh records member: THESE ANIMALS! Their self titled debut EP will be released on aaahh records very very soon!!! In the meantime you are welcome to check out their band documentary. We asked them if they could shoot some footage and interview snippets that might help to introduce the band. They did a great job!

These Animals are four wild and charming creatures from the urban jungle in the great city of New York. Their music is just as diverse as the jungle itself. Imagine dreamy guitar soundscapes crossed with a motown dancy rythm section. Sounds weird? Well, listen for yourself and discover a mix of dreamy pop and dance-able rock and roll that comes along with sixties-inspired harmonies, floating shoe-gaze guitar textures and toe-tapping rhythms. All sitting very comfortably next to each other.

The boys met while attending art school in New York where they studied studio production for music. Their personal musical journey as a band began with a songwriting project in the early months of 2010. After a few lineup changes, These Animals came to be described as a “supergroup” of bands in their college circuit, hailing Greg Baldwin and Brian Crimmins from Greg Baldwin & The Aesthetics, Jon Rick from Wyldlife, and Will Whatley, from seemingly every band at the college.

Using the elements of pop music to guide their writing process, the four New York boys simultaneously embrace and redefine their genre. In their first self titled EP Greg’s sixties-inspired melodies float over chaotic guitars, syncopated rhythms, visceral textures, and hard-hitting rock.
