Animal Frequencies is The Dodo Appreciation Society’s Album Out Now
Good Day Noir Family,
Animal Frequencies bursts open with Fish, a track whose infectious guitar riff and upbeat rhythm invite you straight into the chaos.
Animal Frequencies is The Dodo Appreciation Society’s Album Out Now
It’s modern, it’s playful, and it’s the kind of song that clings to your brain long after the final chord. The hook is relentless in the best way—this is the kind of opener that sets a wild tone for the rest of the album.
Then comes Kitten Kisses & Puppy Dog Tails, fifteen seconds of unfiltered madness—fast, brutal metal that lands like a punch to the jaw. It’s a perfect palate shocker before The Sex Life Of A Slug slithers in, a slower, twisted piece with an off-kilter groove. This is where the band’s avant-garde leanings shine, evoking the unpredictable energy of groups like Naked City. The sudden tempo changes, bursts of improvisation, and fearless arrangements make it a standout.
Shrimp offers a sharp contrast—an acoustic ballad with sly humor that strips away the chaos to reveal the band’s softer, but still irreverent, side. The irony and cheekiness call to mind The Presidents of the United States of America, while elsewhere the band’s sheer intensity channels the punch of Rage Against the Machine.
That punch is front and center in Wasp In The Bedroom—a chaotic, delirious blast of energy that proves The Dodo Appreciation Society can do unhinged rock as well as anyone. The Worm follows, a frantic hard rock outburst with the same manic hysteria you’d expect from System of a Down, all anchored by a tight, inventive rhythm section and a vocal performance that’s as unrestrained as it is precise.
The album closes with Mathematical Fly Art, a final statement of intent. It’s unconventional, unpredictable, and firmly establishes that this band isn’t interested in following anyone else’s rulebook. With a sound that’s equal parts chaotic, nerdy, and brilliant, The Dodo Appreciation Society have carved out a space entirely their own.
