Post Animal first gained some attention for their unique prog-indie-pop sound but also for the fact that they featured Stranger Things Joe Keery as one of their guitarists (he’s since left the band since scoring that major role). With the release of their upcoming sophomore LP Forward Motion Godyssey they’re about to make a much bigger splash in the music world. In a week and a day, on Valentine’s Day, the band’s album comes out and to help build some more anticipation for the release, the band has shared a new video for their song “How Do You Feel.”
The over six minute long song begins in a more pop-oriented direction, with rhythmic guitar stabs and R&B-influenced vocals that sound a little bit like – believe it or not – The Weeknd. As the synths start to swirl into the mix, it becomes more clear just how proggy the band can get as they transports the listener through a series of musical passages across the song’s relatively expansive runtime.
The video follows two women on an adventure. It opens with them in red hues on horseback, a sort of prelude to the short story that is about to play out. As the song opens up, it shows the two muscular women pulling their RV into a trailer park, setting up camp for an extended period. There they set up their homestead, all the while working out and training. As they build up what later turns out to be a stage, the footage shoots back to that prelude, showing brief frames of the red-hued women on horseback. Later they compete as bodybuildiers on their stage in the trailer park, streamers and smoke making it almost look like a real competitive venue.
