Thirsty Eyes by Alland Byallo
Bad Animal's intimate feel is realized in the title track of its inaugural release, “Thirsty Eyes,” an evocative song about a pained, passive aggressive young woman who is oblivious of her own condition. Built upon a sinister bass line and raw, soul-drenched vocal, this lo-fi tune builds to an eerie yet frenzied crescendo then explodes into a percussive workout perfect for peak time. Remixes from the wildly in-demand techno trio dOP and Berlin-based house producer Adam Port explore the darker and more upbeat sides of the tune, respectively; dOP drops a spacey, acid-laced, psychedelic monster while Port gives the tune a pounding, house-y workout. Finally “Open Windows,” Byallo’s other original piece, pays homage to the past with a look towards the future; this bass-heavy techno/house tune opens with an old-school build-up then chugs along accented by an ethereal vocal and energetic stabs designed to get the dance floor moving.
