Animal Souls, led by Abbotsford-based bassist/producer Michael Fisher, is what happens when musical boundaries dissolve. After decades of playing music since the late ’70s, Fisher turned a pandemic pivot from Live Nation Entertainment into a full-time musical renaissance. Bringing together Fraser Valley’s finest musicians, the project refuses to play by genre rules – each song dictates its own path, whether that means merging in flutes, dobros, violins, or synths. Since launching, they’ve dropped the ‘Wisdom of Crowds’ LP, ‘Take Me Home’ EP, and a string of singles that showcase their shape-shifting sound.
Animal Souls’ latest release, “The Kids,” is a euphoric indie rock gem that captivates from the very first note. The track opens with melodious vocals, accompanied by uplifting strings and infectious beats that immediately set a joyous tone. As the song unfolds, it transforms into an irresistible indie rock anthem that can’t help but lift your spirits.
