Known mostly for their sweet as hell bootyshakin’ party anthems, "Animal" shows off a far more in-your-face side of ELEL. Yet another diamond from the minds of this 7-or-so member collective, a group of songwriting animals themselves, this track holds to band’s roots in grandiose love bangers but adds a pumped-up element that’ll make you want to find your troubles and kick them right over the moon.
If you happen to fall in the Venn diagram overlap of "people who like crawfish boils" and "people who don’t mind cutting a rug or two," you can catch ELEL at the East Nashville Crawfish Bash (5.21) with tons of other killer bands, beer from Yazoo, and did we mention it’s a crawfish boil? –Austin Phy
