Song of the Day: February 05, 2016 - "Paradise" by Animalia
I stumbled across this song the other day and was immediately drawn in by the dark, cinematic sound of Animalia.
The songwriter is originally from Hobart, Tasmania, but now lives in Toronto, by way of Ireland, and her upcoming album is called (dissonance). She says she wrote the album with "each song focusing on a different element of my relationship with the world around me."
"Paradise", in particular, "was written after what seemed like an endless news stream of young people losing their lives through gun violence."
The album comes out in April on Culvert Music, and I can only hope it is as captivating as this single.
