American band Animals as Leaders are like mathematics translated into sound – abstract equations transformed into musical geometry, where every note has its precisely calculated place yet still breathes with the freedom of improvisation. The trio led by the phenomenal Tosin Abasi tears down the boundaries between metal, jazz, and electronic music, creating a kaleidoscope of sounds that pulls the listener into a parallel universe. It’s not music that’s “easy” on first listen, but rather a labyrinth in which one gladly gets lost, discovering new paths, details, and layers with every return. Animals as Leaders prove that technical virtuosity can also be deeply emotional – when it becomes pure sonic architecture.
