Amidst washed out lighting, four-part Ceramic Animal gets back to barefoot basics, bringing rhythmic comedy into its new music video for the band’s latest single, “Maybe.” Though sound seems to direct itself down a new avenue, band members are certainly following its lead. Entering stage through a reverse rabbit hole sequence, the group emerges fashionably late, donning its traditional threads - matching suits.
Following the debut of its first album, this latest track invites newcomers and seasoned vets alike to tune into modern music in its most measurable feat: versatility. The upbeat melody, carrying over fragments from its psychedelic predecessors, provides a multicolored machine in which ears process sound.
With its upcoming show in Philly at Underground Arts on July 11 with The Binary Sea and Lou, Ceramic Animal’s “Maybe,” offers a catalyst for what listeners can expect from the group’s assumed longevity: swirling abstract sound.
Whether on land or out to sea (ankle-deep creek), Ceramic Animal distributes its sound to any audience keen on expanding its musical palate.
