At this point in my life, reading a band bio is generally about as comfortable as reading condom instructions. However, when your bio is as colorful and filled with neat artwork who really cares what it says right? Equally as engaging is the exceptionally wild gatefold artwork for Kissed by An Animal (that’s the best band name they could come up with?) and their debut full length. It’s an engaging listen chock full of power pop goodness made for sunny days either laying in your backyard (or on your roof), or playing fetch with your dog, who may or may not have doled out kisses and maybe that’s where the band got it’s name? Do you like feel good power pop similar to baddies like Chisel, Teenage Cool Kids, or Dead Mechanical? Well, meet your new baby daddy. Expect large doses of average-whites-living-in-Brooklyn-lackadaisical-sweet vocals laid atop sturdy bass lines doing the heavy lifting, catchy guitar work alternating between clean riffing and the occasional slide, as well as some nice keys showing up for texture. It works, it’s fun, and a delight to look at.
