Animals is the debut album by Oxford based math rock band This Town Needs Guns. It had its UK release on 13 October 2008, under BSM Records, and on 10 March 2009 in the US, via Sargent House Records.
It was recorded over the periods of March through May on a four weekend
basis due to financial and personal demands. It was all recorded at the
Lodge Studios in Northampton[1]
Every song on the album continues the same theme of being named after
different types of animals. During the writing and recording phase, the
band named each song with temporary names in order to avoid calling
them formal titles, such as "New Track 1", etc. So, they settled with
names of animals as a fleeting substitute for the song names, hoping to
change them before release. However, the band eventually couldn't decide
on official names to replace them with, so the titles remained as they
were.[2]
There has been a promotional video made for 'Panda', which was aired
on the band's website and record label's YouTube page on the 3rd of
September, 2008.[3] However, this isn't an official single.
The album has been listed on the UK iTunes, but the track listing is incorrect; the songs have been listed alphabetically.
