“We wrote a song so pop, it’s not pop,” the band said. “It’s what the original idea deserved.”

The band originally started with six members, but has recently become a five-piece band, as co-founder of the band, Joe Keery, has left the line up to act as a major character on Netflix’s Stranger Things.

Since the departure of Keery, the band mentions how they are deeply rooted in brotherhood, as bass guitarist, Dalton Allison, guitarist, Matt Williams, stem from a near-lifelong friendship, additionally stating the band’s strong chemistry is evident throughout the entire album.

“Using the melody as a vehicle, take in the lyrics,” the band elucidates. “Forge your own path as you gain perspective from the genuine, heartfelt message penned from within Post Animal.”

The band will be kicking off their North American Tour with Twin Peaks on Nov. 21 in Dallas, TX, and will be opening for Cage The Elephant in the UK/EU in early 2020.
