I would like to say this is 'little-known' but I have a feeling that a lot of people have
actually heard of them - I mean, their cd is sold at wal-mart
The Sound of Animals Fighting is a collaboration of a number of current rock/progressive bands who look to create
a musical idea that is entirely different.
It's a combination of two of my favorite bands. Rx Bandits and Circa Survive;
Though it sounds similar to neither.
Driven by virtuoso drummer Chris Tsagakis of Rx Bandits, he creates all of the
song structure by laying down the first track (whatever he wants to play.)
The track is then passed to Matt Embree of RxB, who lays down the bass, and lead guitar. From there on it is circulated between members (distances apart)
to lay down the rest of the programming (electronica, vocals [ a role played by a handful of members] and then post-production.) Take a listen to it,
and if you like it, pick up a copy of the new cd: Ocean and The Sun.
"Enjoy!"

I still think "Tiger and the Duke" is their best album.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if they're going to work on new stuff soon, or if they're writing/touring/recording with their own bands.
A new Circa album would be amazing.
