ANIMALS AS LEADERS Debut “The Brain Dance”

by | Sep 30, 2016

You may want to sit down for this one. The first track from the new Animals As Leaders record, The Madness of Many, has made its way online. Get ready to brain dance.

The Madness of Many is the band’s fourth studio effort, a follow up to their 2014 album The Joy of Motion.

Guitarist Javier Reyes said,

“We’ve learned over the years how each other works best, and it’s taken that time to make an album that sounds the most like what we sound like as musicians.”

You’ll be able to see these musicians live this fall. AAL will be out on a North American run dubbed The Madness of Many tour in support of the effort. They’ll be bringing along Intervals and Plini.

Here’s their new song “The Brain Dance.”

The Madness of Many comes out on November 11th through Sumerian.
