ANIMAL PISS IT'S EVERYWHERE - Grace LP

Highly recommended.

It's Cocktail Time! That’s right—Grace, the sophomore effort from Planet Earth's favorite Western Mass bar band ANIMAL PISS, IT'S EVERYWHERE, is officially upon us. And indeed, there is a certain grace present amidst the rambles and ambles of this particular trip around the gramophone.

Picking up where 2022’s self-titled LP left off (deemed an "all-star romp through early West Coast country rock a la Moby Grape, Sons of Champlin, and Byrds" by Byron Coley), this latest full-length further explores such collectively road-tested themes as mortality, partying, doomed celebrity, and wasted-days-turned-regrettable-nights with equal parts stardusted mania and genuine pathos.

Sorta like if an early Jimmy Buffett LP took a wrong turn down a dark alley somewhere between the poolside cabana and neighborhood crab shack, or if Brewer and Shipley tripped with the Meat Puppets in a tour van together.

This aural truckstop feast from the experimental northeast arrives just in time to squeeze in a few more shoreline drives with what's left of these hazy summer daze. Jump in!
