Trampled By Turtles Wild Animals
Trampled by Turtles' "Wild Animals" is an amiable alternative album. With great songs like "Lucy" and "Winners" this album involves the listener in a deeper part of music, reaching into genres like folk, bluegrass, alternative, and rock, to mold an album of such emotional intrigue and rich instrumentation. Never has an album dissolved the barriers of genres quite like this one.This is the gateway into deeper musical adventures that will undoubtedly allude to this album as an inspiration. This album is on par with Alt-J's An Awesome Wave, and The Avett Brothers' I and Love and You. The artists saved the best song for last, which includes orgasmic string parts and poetic lyrics. This album let's listeners enjoy a peaceful sound rivaled by fast-picking and more of a bluegrass/rock feel. The song "Wild Animals" has a more ethereal, heavenly vibe that ropes listeners in on first listen.

Listened to a few songs once. Listened to "silver Katherine" several times. It's an alright song, but I've never been compelled to listen to this more
