Ethereal pop quartet These Animals is the perfect band to boost the dbittersweet emotions brought by the approaching end of the summer. The band's debut LP 'Pages' drops today, and teaser track 'Hunting Horn' (streaming), a syncopated and lush journey through the seasons, promises a hard-hitting torrent of energy and guitar rock goodness for their upcoming release. Recorded during the group's winter cabin recording sessions, the track is somewhat reminiscent of Grandaddy's melancholic pop, and has the feeling of the cold season in its lyrics and pounding drums, with the warmth and optimism of summer built into bright guitars and falsetto vocals.

The Brooklyn band releases their CD on August 1st at Bowery Electric. - Mike Levine (@Goldnuggets)
