South-west UK based alternative outfit ANIIMALIA today announced their new EP ‘CAROUSEL’, set for release on 4TH APRIL 2024 via Marshall Records, and sees the band teaming up once again with renowned producer-engineer Romesh Dodangoda (Bring Me The Horizon, Funeral For A Friend, Nova Twins, Twin Atlantic). The announcement is accompanied by the release of their latest single, ‘PUPPETEER’.
“Puppeteer stands tall as an anthem, resonating with those who have endured the weight of being pushed to their limits,” declares the frontwoman, Kira Beckett. The vocalist candidly unravels the darker threads of the human psyche, spotlighting the haunting thoughts that can accompany prolonged mistreatment. “It explores untethered anger after being walked over for too long, and the dark thoughts that can come with that…”
The band sought to craft a dense tapestry of vivid imagery, offering a stark portrayal of the chaos wrought by pent-up anger. ‘Puppeteer’ becomes a chilling reminder that when individuals find themselves pushed beyond their breaking points, they are susceptible to losing grip on reality and spiralling until they snap.
At its core, the new single encapsulates the essence of ‘Carousel’. The track serves as a pivotal juncture in the musical journey, capturing the raw emotions and unfiltered vulnerability that define the overarching theme of the entire collection with unapologetic intensity.
