Date Animals by Lesbian Wallet
"Date Animals" ... what does it even mean: "Date Animals"?
Is it a snarky remark on our qualities as date-able lovers? Or an antiphrastic comment on toxic relationships? A gaping window on a distant future where mankind is morally, or even physically, extinct? Or a subtle call to paleontology? (It surely isn’t a call to bestiality though, and if your mind went there, you’re naughty.) Well, to be frank, we’re not entirely sure.
To be steven, on the other hand, here’s what Date Animals is: 32+ minutes of abrasive, no bullshit rock with a lot of influences, and a shit-ton of twists and turns. 3 years of Lesbian Wallet. Our heavier, weirder stuff to date.
Dig in.
For glory.

They say about "Date Animals":
- "It all cycles through every possible avenue and never fails to evoke a tidal wave of emotion whilst communicating the trippiest of ideas. It feels impossible to try understanding this record completely when every listen opens a new view of the sounds being projected into your brain." - Bucketlist Reviews (CAN) 8.5/10
