Animal Kingdom "The Looking Away"


I’m pretty sure they did not choose the name Animal Kingdom because Animal Collective was already taken, but who knows; was their sound also inspired by more than just the name, or is this just a horse burp?
“The Wave” sounds almost like an oasis tune, while the second cut sounds like a better version of Foster The People, but they can “Get Away With It.”                                                                     Is this the emotion of a “Straw Man” or a real one? Is the approach earnest? Am I being stupid? The fallacy is very interesting though, as well as the song.                                                      I may end up playing this song like it’s a “Skipping Disc” because there are so many beautiful details that bring on different references and slightly different moods. This “Glass House” sounded a little odd compared to the last one, almost robotic, but a good dance song nonetheless. “The Art of Tuning Out” is…a success! What were we talking about? Soft Cell? The only song I can remember from them was a song that wasn’t even theirs. I still love it though, and maybe the “White Sparks” are flying from the rundown neon lights of the Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret full of tainted love.                                                                                                                            Hardly anyone is unaware at how tricky it is to concentrate on “Everything At Once,” but there seems like this song is saying so much more than it really is; expansive and unexpected, or to others it can be completely overrated. They may enjoy the final song “Alone Together,” and while the contradictory title and sentiment are cute I just do not like the song as much as other people out there. The album was full of changing moods and sounds; surprisingly this was not an album for The Looking Away.
