James Holden & The Animal Spirits



What am I looking at? 
James Holden & The Animal Spirits. We went to see them live at the Islington Academy.

Whats with the shit photo? 
You like? We took it with our brand new fancy phone.

Anyway, how was the show? 
It was phenomenal! Transcendental! This is the third time we've seen James Holden live and he keeps getting better. He has now expanded to a full band which transforms his  otherwordly modular explorations a playful ethnological heft. The crowd were in great form too, with energetic spastic dancing and caterwauling in time with the chirpy music. This altogether made an unforgettable show which was by far our favourite of the year.


Wow. High praise indeed. Anything else? 

Listen to this. It's the first track off the Animal Spirits album and epitomizes what they're about.

Great. Thanks. Bye.
