Golden Animals - Hear Eye Go

Facts 2013 release from Brooklyn duo Golden Animals, the follow-up to their 2008 debut Free Your Mind and Win a Pony. Dividing their time between the extremes of Brooklyn and the California desert since their 2006 inception, long-time friends Tommy Eisner (vocals/guitar) and Linda Beecroft (drums/backing vocals) construct tales of love, friendship, and seclusion while keeping their sound simultaneously energetic and meditative. They view their two home bases as complementary influences, shaping their sound equally but very differently. Golden Animals' commitment to the fruits of their labor is impressive-the band recorded an entire LP in a California cabin, only to scrap it upon finding that limitations on their recording process diminished the power of the tracks. That rigid commitment to their work is readily apparent throughout Hear Eye Go's 10 tracks - they're exactly what they need to be, full of Rock 'n' Roll energy and devoid of filler.
