Born of music rag buzz, Boston’s Animal Talk soared to national attention back in 2012 after opening for Young the Giant and an album produced by Grammy-winner Duckie Carlisle, they dazzled neverending SXSW audiences that year, and built buzz while continuing to remain loyal to the local scene with gigs like the Boston Calling afterparty with the likes of Charlie XCX this past May. Tracks like "Mama Was a Teenage Rocker" and the material everyone became hooked on from the Into the Sun 2011 EP have left Animal Talk touring more sparesely in recent months in favor of composing what will be their second full-length release. They’re being tight-lipped about it, but those who have attended summer shows in Boston and Toronto just may have the taste we so crave.
