Listen to Animals As Leaders – “Tooth and Claw”

by | Feb 18, 2014

We’ll never forget the time we interviewed Animals As Leaders and the loudest car horn we ever heard went off (you can find here at 6:50).  Is that really necessary on Sunset Blvd? Pretty sure we peed our pants a little.

We don’t have an obnoxious horn to catch you off guard, but perhaps a new Animals As Leaders song will. Their new album The Joy of Motion comes out next month, and the first single from it got put out today. It’s called “Tooth and Claw.”

Next week the band will kick off their US tour with After The Burial, Navene-K, and CHON. The Joy of Motion will be released on March 25th.

Is it us, or does this remind you of Veil of Maya?
