After releasing his powerful and heartfelt debut single dissolve last year, kev, the moniker of London born indie-folk singer and songwriter Pierce Kavanagh, is back with his latest indie rock single Animal Brain, in anticipation of his debut EP For New York set for release later this year. 
 
Animal Brain finds kav beautifully showcasing his stark, expressive vocals and how dynamic his vocal delivery is, starting quite slowly and delicate before bursting with passion that is matched by the Eric Sanderson's polished production. The song continues the theme of heart-wrenchingly honest lyrics that are beautifully conveyed through kav's vocals and the infectious melodies. I am very fond of the intimate intro with kav's gorgeous vocals soaring over subtle guitar licks and piano chords that are then joined by lush synths, soaring guitar riffs and punchy drum patterns that create an overall energetic and confident atmosphere. Animal Brain is a memorable indie/alt-rock cut with raw emotion, gorgeous vocals and guitars perfect for a relaxed day at home. Check it out below!
