Post Animal
Chicago’s psych-rock revivalists have been churning out introspective, bluesy jams from the cities’ growing DIY community. Their latest single, “Gelatin Mode,” is a harder turn for the band, utilizing driving percussion and reverb-soaked guitars to dramatic effect, sounding like a 21st century Led Zeppelin. The lineup includes Javi Reyes, a former member of Madison’s Dolores. Locals Slow Pulp and Tippy open.
$12 (ages 18+).
press release: Chicago neo-psych rock band Post Animal recently signed to Polyvinyl Record Co., and announce their forthcoming debut album entitled When I Think Of You In A Castle. The album's first single "Ralphie" finds guitarist Joe Keery and bassist Dalton Allison trading lead vocals. Though Post Animal's live shows have long proven that swirling riffs are the band's bread-and-butter, it's earworms like this that show how easily they can churn out an infectious pop melody.
"Raphie" by Post Animal
Early praise for Post Animal:
"sweet Tame Impala-esque psychedelic rock tunes...Head on over to their Bandcamp to listen to their earworm-y [music]" - New York Magazine’s Vulture
"happily fell into this Post Animal psych rock hole while stalking and found it to be really, really great." - i-D
"swirling sounds, which can be big and beefy when they want to and all weird and twee, like something Syd Barrett's found at the bottom of the garden, the next...rather good" - NME
"While the band is currently getting a boost of notoriety due to Joe's recent acting success, we point them out not as some kind of novelty: they’re actually good. Their LP from last year, called Post Animal Perform the Most Curious Water Activities, is weird and ear-wormy at the same time, druggy and carefully wrought psych-pop that sounds like it should have pretty broad appeal." - Brooklyn Vegan
"a pretty great psych-rock band from Chicago." - FACT
"one of the city's best psych-rock bands...think if Tame Impala listened to a lot of Black Sabbath and were signed to Elephant 6. " -Chicago Tribun
