Review
"Animal Kingdom" by Cavetown is like taking a stroll through an indie forest with surprises awaiting on every trail. Released in 2019, this eclectic mix isn't just about Cavetown's introspective magic but also brings in a colorful blend of guest storytellers, from Chloe Moriondo to Sidney Gish and Spookyghostboy. You can feel the cozy embrace of genres like indie, folk, and lo-fi mingling together, creating a charming patchwork of melodies.
Cavetown rocks some deeply honest and catchy vibes in tracks like "Juliet" and "Boys Will Be Bugs," where his emotional storytelling feels like a handwritten letter from an old friend. But don’t let that steal the limelight from guest artists who add their unique touches; Chloe Moriondo infuses catchy pop vibes while Sidney Gish rolls in with an experimental indie folk twist. It’s a beautiful gathering of varied perspectives, and each track is its own little world worth visiting.
The atmosphere throughout "Animal Kingdom" is thoughtfully raw and gentle, often floating on acoustic guitar or piano. It loops you into an intimate reflection, letting the lyrics cut through straight to the heart. Overall, diving into "Animal Kingdom" feels like embracing creativity and vulnerability, perfect for those laid-back moments when you're seeking something sincere yet delightfully diverse. Perfect for anyone who relishes the fresh, soft embrace of indie and lo-fi waves. - Rory
