With their hard-to-pin sound, the band revels in their own style of slinky dark pop that is enticing and infectious. Touches of glam rock intermingle with a cool and soulful, hip-hop-inspired beat to make for a mysterious anthem. There is something especially intriguing about the way the band melds so many unlikely musical influences, letting the vocals and a down and dirty guitar solo soar above it all.\u201d \u2013 Neil Ferguson,\u00a0<strong>GLIDE MAGAZINE<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\u00a0<br><em>PLAYBOYS OF THE WESTERN WORLD<\/em>\u00a0TRACK LISTING:<br>01 Dark Fantasies<br>02 Golden Child<br>03 Special FX<br>04 The Revolution&#8217;s After Party<br>05 Halo<br>06 Victor<br>07 A Ballad<br>08 Leather And Lace<br>09 Montage<br>10 A Star Is Born<br>11 Burning Cathedral<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">FOR MORE INFO ON BLACK LIGHT ANIMALS:<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/ymlpcdn2.net\/7f8ebmebbyazaeweshagajywakamhhj\/click.php\">https:\/\/blacklightanimalsband.bandcamp.com<\/a><br>\u00a0FOR MORE INFO ON GROOVE KING RECORDS:<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/ymlpcdn2.net\/1de35mebhsagaeweshapajywazamhhj\/click.php\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Groovekingrecords<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Black Light Animals\u00a0are a psychedelic\u00a0soul group hailing from the midwest.
