Grey Mouse Animalism ( Full Album 2014)

Buy Listen With each new album, the Moscowbased band Grey Mouse change both their sound and lineups. For instance, their previous album Trip featured a sitar player, and on the next one (Animalism), there are two, but at the same time, the fulltime guitarist disappeared from the lineup, and all the guitar parts were recorded by guest musicians. It would be wrong to think, though, that Grey Mouse changed their sound to some meditative ethnopsychedelic kind of thing. On the contrary, Animalism is a loud and aggressive rock album. On this record, the band took a turn in the direction of garage hard rock, stoner and maybe even grunge. The sitars provide some flavor, but fuzzy guitars giving out occasional roughsounding solos are still the main dish here. And theres some lowtempo harmonicafronted blues rock too. The songs are mostly rather short, and this time they even show glimpses of hit songwriting t
