After having chased their vintage fantasy all the way to Nashville with their previous album 'Are We There Yet?' (2015), The Animen have firmly and deliberately taken root in the present. By teaming up with Samy Osta for their third studio endeavour, the guys from Geneva have added to their talent the vista of a producer brimming with energy and boldness (Feu! Chatterton, La Femme, Juniore). The interlacing that embellishes the 11 tracks - elegant guitar friezes, elastic bass lines, sturdy rhythmical reliefs topped with a warm and vibrant voice - are all the more admirable. From the biting enthusiasm of 'The Absence' to the psychedelics of 'Greetings from El Matador', from the gloriously lo-fi and nonchalant 'Mourning Sun' to the drunken broken-down cabaret of 'Woe is Me' and the Stones-like choruses of 'Two-Armed River', the record features a kaleidoscope of lively, embracing and colourful lights.
