People Years (from the album Animalism available on Cornelius Chapel Records) (by Bryant Liggett)
It is a sound mash-up where subtle Pop music meets audio fringe experimental, or where post Punk and Indie Rock brush up alongside layers of electronic rhythms while sharp guitar riffs takes a stab wherever they please. Animalism from Alabama supergroup People Years scratches a dreamy, ambient itch while claiming appealing Psych and Garage Rock. People Years get the ‘supergroup moniker due to its members holding down key roles in some of Alabama’s more revered bands; Vulture Whale, Warm in the Wake, and The Makeshifters, leaking the secret that Alabama is a hotbed of Indie music.  Catchy pop is explored in album opener “Recognizable Animal”, explored further but with a hint of edge in the bouncy and optimistic “Commonly Known”. “Not Really Surfing” has an air of California dream-rock while the six-minute plus “Roadkill,” which begins life light and ambient, playing out electronic music as a pulsing rhythm that builds as the song meanders into spacey, guitar heavy Jam band territory. 
 
 
A jangling, loose and bending guitar lines comes and goes in “You Don’t Do Nature” and “Your Locket” while “Fall in Line”, with its electronic undertones, has 1980 New Wave appeal. A no-bones guitar riff introduces album closer “Fear Culture” with the rest of People Years quickly jumping in on what is the most straight ahead Rock’n’Roll cut on Animalism.  A curiosity for exploration brings forth great music. At the surface, People Years is a great Rock’n’Roll band and their willingness to explore electronic musical ideas, vintage New Wave, and neo-Psychedelia is an invitation to join in a musical journey to glorious uncharted territory. (by Bryant Liggett)
