There's a distinct Dorothy via young Kings of Leon via Black Keys sweat 'n' dirt rock vibe to 'Free Animal', the debut song from US duo Foreign Animal. Notwithstanding its heavy, pulsating beat, and the array of crunching guitar riffs driving 'Free Animal' along, Jacob Michael and Jesse Clasen also nod to the crisp, thoughtful and ultimately earwormy British indie of Alt-J and Glass Animal's sexed-up alternative-pop, with Jesse's lovingly applied falsetto vocals proving a star turn. A very exciting blend of styles indeed, stay locked for more. - DC
