Kissed By An Animal – Kissed By An Animal

Handstand Records – 2019
Rock, Indie, Pop, College, Punk
Rated: ***

It was already released almost a year ago, but as we state on the contact page, physical releases sent our way will always be mentioned. In this case we’ve got some poppy punk and indie rock on our hands. The one that gives you that college rock feeling. That drop-out, wide-eyed, acid-gobbling, beat-poet attitude of feigned disinterest. We’re talking about Brooklyn based Dima Drjuchin fronted four piece outfit Kissed By An Animal. Dima Drjuchin is perhaps mostly known for the cover art he has produced. But he’s been churning out music with a high variety of projects for many years. And self-titled debut album Kissed By An Animal is his latest and perhaps finest piece of work to date. Eleven tracks that turn you on with fascinating guitar mantra’s and tune you in to his brainwaves. Quirky sure, but that little nook, nailed off by the building inspector long ago, deserves to have the wino’s kicked out of and discovered all anew. Playful charm indeed, but also sophisticated and imploring exactly the amount of dream-pop moments to have their raw and casual side turn into something exciting and new. It feels intimate and that’s absolutely logical when you are Kissed By An Animal…
