If you’re a frequent ANCHR Magazine reader, then you’re likely already familiar with Chicago’s Post Animal, but they have new music on the way that warrants them today’s AAOTD feature!

After a successful first album run that took the five-piece on national tours and saw them playing festivals like Bonnaroo and Lollapalooza, the band has steadily been gearing up to release their sophomore effort via Polyvinyl Records. Leading up to the February 14th release of Forward Motion Godyssey, Post Animal released singles “Safe or Not” and “Schedule” in late 2019, and they just shared the record’s third single, “Fitness,” this week. The epic five-minute track embodies the same winding energy that builds up and releases across their saga of a second album.

In addition to the pristine production on Forward Motion Godyssey and the band’s fluid combination of genres, Post Animal continues to stand out among the rest by featuring vocals and lyrics from multiple band members; If you were to listen to Post Animal on shuffle, it’s sometimes hard to believe these songs came from the same band thanks to the vocal distinctions.

Tune into “Fitness” and “Safe or Not” below, and see where you can catch Post Animal on tour here. And of course, don’t forget to pre-order the album here.
