Animal Years is a project spearheaded by Mike McFadden, who primarily was a solo artist until he moved to Brooklyn, where he gathered a full band for his set. Their debut LP, Sun Will Rise, is anthemic and powerful; a passionate work of thrilling crescendos fueled by bright and expansive guitar and McFadden’s lyrical prowess. His vocals are firm and expressive, charging through each song with an impressive force. "Let Go of Your Head" has an electrifying energy, chiefly when the chorus kicks in; infectiously catchy, it stands out on the album as a high point. Stream the song below and you can watch the video for their song "Forget What They’re Telling You" here. You can see them live at the Brooklyn Bowl on Thursday, July 31st where they will open for Bronz Radio Return.
