Review

"Animal" is a vibrant exploration of sound that effectively captures the essence of modern trap music. Bro Safari's production is both intricate and accessible, utilizing heavy bass lines and crisp snares to create a sound that is both energetic and danceable. The album's lyrical content is not its strongest suit, but that is often the case in dance music, where the emphasis is placed more on rhythm and vibe than storytelling. Each track is designed to evoke a visceral reaction, making it perfect for live performances and parties. The artistic vision behind "Animal" is clear: to create a soundscape that encourages movement and celebration, which Bro Safari achieves with aplomb. The album is a testament to the evolution of electronic music in the early 2010s, marking a pivotal moment in the rise of trap as a dominant force in the genre.
