Animal Souls is a multi-genre indie music project based in Abbotsford, BC. The group is headed by bassist/producer Michael Fisher and features some of the best players in the Fraser Valley and abroad. 'THE KIDS' is the latest single, out on December 13. has been over 35 years in the making. A few iterations along the way and I think I may have got it right this time.. IMHO:)
