Half the Animal seem to encapsulate what it means to be a pop band with heart. The Los Angeles-based trio fuses infectious melodies and irresistible vocal hooks with resounding, relatable lyrics. The result is a presence, and sound, that’s hard to ignore and electric to experience live and in color. Already creating a buzz, the band has received great response this past year touring with the likes of Great Good Fine Ok, Smallpools and Atlas Genius.

Their latest single, “Magic,” is equal parts danceable, catchy and suave, solidifying the band’s trademark sound and style.

Blood shot eyes on the east side
Looking like vampires
It’s working alright
Wasted nights on the high rise
Taking that joyride
Tripping all night
