Those familiar with the folky sounds of Laura Marling‘s main gig might have a bit of a hard time picturing her singing the lines “Dance dance/This is your last chance.” But that’s exactly what she does on “Animal,” the title track off of the latest release from LUMP, her collaboration with Tunng‘s Mike Lindsay.
Mind you, LUMP are not quite jumping into club banger territory (though it is most definitely a danceable track). Rather, “Animal” finds Marling’s unmistakeable voice meshing perfectly with Lindsay’s electronic arrangements, resulting in a sound which veers closer to the likes of Ladytron, Jane Weaver, and latter day Radiohead. Check it out.
