Fresh Track: Post Animal – “Puppy Dog”

Photo by: Courtney Sofiah Yates

Chicago based rock outfit has released the lead single off their upcoming album titled “Puppy Dog.” The release of this single coincided with the announcement of both a North American tour and a new record titled ‘Love Gibberish,’ releasing on May 13th. This is the first new music we have heard from Post Animal in over a year and a half (If you aren’t counting live sessions). We at PoD had a chance to sit down with guitarist Javi Reyes to talk about their previous-full length project ‘Forward Motion Godyssey’ linked here.

“Puppy God” is nearly five-minute epic that has acoustic passages mixed with a grandiose psych pop pre-chorus and chorus. The single is made to symbolize a break up through the perspective of the dog of a separated couple. Javi Reyes is cited to have written this song while watching his dog. The latter end of the track features this jam / solo portion that is characteristic of their previous records drawing from psych rock and dream pop.
