On first listen I was like: "yeah its ok". Then it popped up randomly in my itunes ten minutes later and I thought: "woah, what is this? It's amaaaazing". And now after 37 or so listens I am totally hooked on the Danimals sound, after not giving them much thought for the past year or so. Danimals was once the side project of Sherlocks Daughter member Jonti Danielwitz and is now a quartet and probably the next big thing to come out of Sydney.
In keeping with their heavily music based marketing (think UncharTED and 6 beers of separation), Tooheys Extra Dry picked one Australian band to fly to New York and work with John Taylor (Duran Duran), Nick Hodgson (Kaiser Chiefs), Sean Lennon (son of John) and Santigold. Oh yeah, and the track was to be produced by this dude called Mark Ronson, who was responsible for selecting Danimals because he reckons they are "one of the most interesting things" he's heard in a while with awesome beats and "harmonies like the Beach Boys". He's not wrong. It's dreamy. It's complex. It's poppy. It's happy. It's brilliant.
