A Fantastical New Single From Animal Souls
A brand new single release from Animal Souls brings out a warm but colorfully edgy pop-rock tone that comes with hints of retro-pop approaches and influences but also the feeling of being alive and breathing.
"On My Way" features insanely lush soundscape that is complete with keys, synths, and some progressive drumming that all hint to a hard rock but also Jazz feeling style of songwriting that's all rolled up into one banger and it works on such a level that you have to almost listen to it again to catch everything that's going on.
It's so cool to have such a heavy pop sound and orientation but also has all this edginess that surrounds it on the forefront. Meanwhile, in the background, you have vocal harmonies that float like water creating this engulfing atmosphere.
This is a very catchy but in depth type of single that can really grab your attention and keep you where it wants to.
There's this fantastical feel to this and that is a big part of how you're able to get washed away with everything.
That bass tone is crazy and this is where that classic rock and progressive rock tones start to take place. On top of that you have this drumming that is packed with these luscious fills and still right in the pocket but it's all done with that wild style in a way.
The drum fills are phrased incredibly well but everything falls right back into place when they're over and it's just such a cool thing to hear amongst everything else that's going on in the track.
There is additional percussion going on throughout the song as well which also adds to that atmosphere but this track also has those little hints of retro pop in there as well.
It's almost like Talking Heads meets Rush which sounds outlandish but it somehow fits the description for me.
And it's honestly some of the best parts of both worlds because you get that jump up and down groove and all that bright and colorful vibrancy that gives it its pop song likeability but it also has that awesome prog rock musicianship.
Throughout this whole thing since our swelling in the background and just swimming through the ether of the track which adds a sort of ambience to everything as well.
All in all this was super danceable and very fun to play nice and loud and it actually felt good to listen to this song.
For me and for a lot of others honestly, it's pleasurable to peel back layers of a song that's got a lot of them.
There is fun to that and a lot of us wish we could do that more often especially in pop music.
Now, we are no strangers to Animal Souls having the pleasure of reviewing their material in the past a few times and I can definitely say that it's been such a wonderful experience to hear the progression and evolution of the way they do their thing.
You never really know what to expect but you know it's going to be really good and they never really let us down.
This is a really cool level for the band to be on right now and we're more than excited to be one of the first to review this single.
Definitely jump on this one.
