Skunk Anansie – Animal

British rock icons SKUNK ANANSIE have released ‘Animal’, their brand new single today.

Electronically driven, dark and moody, it has proved an absolute smash hit on the band’s recent sold-out UK & European tour, possessed of an instant classic chorus that has seen fans chanting along within moments of first hearing it. The song is the latest track to be taken from the band’s forthcoming album The Painful Truth, out on May 23rd via FLG.

The on-stage performance video for ‘Animal’ is an intense blur of close-up imagery, flashing lights and treated visuals that captures the claustrophobic tension and pulsating drama that drives the song along. It was filmed by the band’s videographer India Fleming and edited by Shea McChrystal.

Skin comments, “So delighted for this track to finally be released as it was a fan fave during the tour and went down a storm! Hope you all like it too.”

The Painful Truth is a truly mesmerising, provocative, powerful and emotional album demonstrating a band at the absolute peak of their powers, yet with everything to prove. It is the sound of Skunk Anansie facing up to who they are and what they want to become. It is more than an album title. It is a reality that they have lived through.

 A radical record made for these uncertain times, The Painful Truth is Skunk Anansie’s first release on the newly formed FLG Records, and it comes with a freshness that belies their storied career and previous multi-platinum achievements. It’s a record that will see Skunk Anansie reclaim their place as one of the most exciting, visionary and important bands in British music.
