Artist- Sacred Animals
Album- Welcome Home EP
Label- Delphi
This EP culls the best elements of Radiohead, Air, and Sigur Ros and somehow makes it all work together. The singer sounds like a more normal Thom Yorke (a reference that is played out in today’s music scene but it’s true). “Chosen Seed” has neat arpeggiated guitar loop (hints of Air circa Talkie Walkie or the Virgin Suicides OST). The lyrics are all oblique and strangely cautious in their wording. This “secretive” Dublin group (actually the solo project of one man) has wonderfully come upon the weird intersection between psych-folk and electronic music and turned it into a delightful 4-song EP. They’re not the most immediately gratifying tunes but these 4 songs are compelling growers.
