ANIMAL SCREAM

Pittsburgh Doom Pop that combines sound design with a psych-pop that’s dark and cinematic, a noir-tinted sound in thrall to the eternal groove. Influences vary from David Lynch, MF DOOM, and ’60s reggae to woozy film scores carving out nocturnal soundscapes for the alienated and brokenhearted. Yet the supernatural dimension of Animal Scream’s music never belies the emotional core underneath.
