Discovering new music is always a great experience. But when it’s brought to you by one of your kids, it’s one of the best gifts ever.

Out for a drive this afternoon, my youngest kid (19, so no, not really that young) was playing a mix on the car stereo. I’d been enjoying the listening, but nothing had really pulled me in.

Then this song came on.

“These guys always this good?” I asked.

“Yeah.”

“Cool.”

We nodded at each other in the way that happens when wisdom is shared.

Animals In the Attic have a special sound. I’m listening to them as I write this. Is retro-introspection a thing? Because this might be that.

In their bio on YouTube, Animals In the Attic describe themselves as making music that is “meant to give tranquility to a generation filled with anxiety.”

That approach really comes through.

I don’t want to risk ruining your first time hearing these guys with my half-baked description. So I’ll stop now.

Go listen. Then you can thank my kid.

So I’ll stick around, work it out
