Album Description

On the front cover of "animal life", a sheep is standing stark and alone. It's a simple image...but look closer and you'll find a world full of intricate detail and emotion. Inside, 27 delivers the sonic parallel. Sometimes the music is bare-boned, honest pop, delicate and alluring in its nakedness. At other times, guitar and sample driven constructions turns songs into cities in motion. It's nature living in sin with technology...but feeling no guilt.

Mellow.......2005-04-03

I would compare this to Portishead but, without the salt and pepper. What I mean is that 27 has a nice beat and a woman singer but, not the spice that Portishead's rhythm section has. It still is a nice album to put on and have a drink to.
