Post Animal - Iron - New LP Record 2025 Polyvinyl Ivory Vinyl - Chicago Psychedelic Pop

When Post Animal stepped into the studio for their new album, it was the first time all six original members were in the studio together for nearly a decade. Three band members had recently relocated away from Chicago, not to mention Joe Keery having left the band in 2017 to focus on acting. In the end they started right back up at the beginning, rediscovering that uncompromising closeness of connection they all shared from those endless hours spent in practice spaces and the late-night diner runs that follow. Prolonged stretches of time together not only reinforced the strength of their friendship—it reinvigorated their music. “If you want to get one hour of good painting in, you have to have four hours of uninterrupted time,” David Lynch once said. The product of a few straight weeks together, IRON (due July 25th) not only finds them reunited with Keery but is the embodiment of 30 days of camaraderie and unbound musical exploration, their renewed connection ironclad.

After 2022’s sublime Love Gibberish, Post Animal found themselves sunk deeper into their work than ever before. That record was their first released independently, with all the extra effort that entails. They also toured extensively, both on their own and with UK psych band Temples.
