Playboys of the Western World

by Black Light Animals

supported by

Lute FP My kind of pop. Melancholic, melodic, rhythmic. Gives me the feeling I get when I listen to the Beatles’ While My Guitar Gently weeps.

The first half reminds me of one of my favorite sounds- early Portugal.the Man. The second half is more of a mixed bag, but great nonetheless.

The singer is the highlight of this band. Very unique and emotive.

about

The debut album from Black Light Animals, Playboys of the Western World is a sprawling, decadent examination of what it means to be a human being through the lens of horror movie organs, spaghetti western guitars, hip hop grooves,  psychedelic sojourns, and ballads crooned to lovers in the night.
