“Listen In” is a weekly feature in which we ask musicians to curate a mixtape-length YouTube playlist of songs they’re currently digging. This week’s playlist comes from our friends in the Boston garage trio Banditas, whose 2012 release Save the Rats I’d recommend to any fans of boozey, bluesy rock and roll. The mix, curated by bandleader […]
“Listen In” is a weekly feature in which we ask musicians to curate a mixtape-length YouTube playlist of songs they’re currently digging. Kentucky’s Young Widows are perhaps the only working post-hardcore band that would put a 2010 Tom Petty track onto a curated playlist, and the rest of their “Listen In” mix continues that disregard […]
ANIMAL’s feature Artist’s Notebook asks artists to show us their original idea sketch next to a finished piece. This week, Addie Wagenknecht explains her project PUSSYDRONES. Since around 2006, I have been heavily working within a sort of purely utilitarian open source space with projects like Lasersaur and Artifact of Code. In this very personal way, which I suppose might look nonsensical and […]
“Listen In” is a weekly feature in which we ask musicians to curate a mixtape-length YouTube playlist of songs they’re currently digging. Today, we’re hooking up with UK indie rockers Mazes, who gave us a playlist that’s all over the stylistic map–from Inga Copeland’s deconstructed dubstep to a 20-minute improvisation from folk guitarist Sandy Bull. Click […]
ANIMAL’s feature Artist’s Notebook asks artists to show us their original idea sketch next to a finished piece. This week, artist Lorna Mills takes us from a found object to her piece Double Unicorn. I’m a serial obsessive, so I don’t need to keep a notebook since I only have one thing going on in my head at […]

This years event celebrates Brooklyn artists and the borough’s ever changing, thriving, creative community. During the event and its concurrent auction Man will be working with Barry Hoggard on the project asking what […]
“Listen In” is a weekly feature in which we ask musicians to curate a mixtape-length YouTube playlist of songs they’re currently digging. This week’s playlist comes courtesy of the Boston fuzz-pop band Earthquake Party, and provides a clear lineage for their brand of raggedy, hook-driven jams. Guitarist Justin Lally was kind enough to provide commentary […]
ANIMAL’s feature Artist’s Notebook asks artists to show us their original idea sketch next to a finished piece. This week, street artists The Yok and Sheryo give us a behind-the-scenes look into their new piece at 5 Pointz. The idea was inspired by our recent travels through Asia. The wall is part of a new body of […]
“Listen In” is a weekly feature in which we ask musicians to curate a mixtape-length YouTube playlist of songs they’re currently digging. Today’s “Listen In” playlists comes from grindcore kings (and inspiration for ANIMAL’s own canine metal band) Pig Destroyer, and gives a wide survey of heavy music circa 2013–from Blacklisters’ noisy post-hardcore to Portal’s […]
ANIMAL’s feature Artist’s Notebook asks artists to show us their original idea sketch next to a finished piece. This week, we talk to Yoshi Sodeoka about his gorgeous, psychedelic video project Sibyl. Since 2010, I’ve been working on this prog-rock inspired psychedelic video project called “Sibyl” with my friend Daron Murphy. I’ve been collecting a lot of freaky prog-rock […]
