Video: Two men and a Holly Hansen. The best show not on cable television.
Holly Hansen has been a local favorite of ours for quite a while now. Her solo album, “Buildings,” full of Kimya Dawson/Shelby Sifers-esque minimalist indie-lullabies, was a great introduction to her quaint musicianship and blessed, angel-like voice. We were pretty upset when we heard news that she gave this act up and started a three piece band, fearing that the outcome of involving other members would somehow fail the unreasonably high expectations we hold for Ms. Hansen.
It didn’t, and thank the heavens for the album we got out of it. Zoo Animal’s debut, titled Young Blood, is a very well constructed mix of moody indie-pop and socially conscious messages, or, if you’re not into that, you can still get to down to its high levels of ants-in-the-pants sap-danciness.
Please click on the video above, or here, to go to the actual YouTube page where you can opt to view the action in high quality. I promise, the difference is worth it. Also, be sure to listen to the song My Lord below!
