Chicago neo-psych rock band Post Animal recently signed to Polyvinyl Record Co., and today they announce their incredible forthcoming debut album entitled When I Think Of You In A Castle. The product of six friends exploring their affinity for slick riffs, pop hooks, and psychedelic flourishes,When I Think Of You In A Castle is a record that almost didn't get made. 'Before this album, we weren't sure what the future of the band was going to look like. I was considering moving to Los Angeles and Joe [Keery] was off filming Stranger Things. We didn't know where we were all going but we knew we wanted to make an album with all of us in the same room,' explains drummer Wesley Toledo. When the band - comprised of friends from childhood, the local music scene, and hometown burger joints - found the time to go to a lake house in Michigan to record, magic happened and When I Think Of You In A Castle was born. The album will be released on April 20th via Polyvinyl - pre-order it HERE.
