Hidden Beams’s “Animals” possesses an epic sound that manages to cram a ton of material into the space of 2:50. The distinct instrumental sides of Animals are wholly different from one another, but these deviations from the song’s main fare end up highlighting the song’s body rather than detract from it. The instrumentation that is laid down during Hidden Beams’s latest is epic, whether it be the booming drums or the Wings-styled guitars. The vocals are able to pull double duty in that they both ferry the narrative along while adding to the dynamics established by the rest of the band.
