About this item

Where his acclaimed debut 'Counting Sheep' offered a smooth, soulful introduction, 'Praise Animal' steps deeper into raw, unfltered territory - a guitar- driven, indiepsychedelic soul record that explores the wilder, more instinctive sides of human nature. The animal that lives inside us all - primal, fragile, sometimes self-destructive, sometimes searching for love and belonging. The album's title refects both this inner confict and society's hunger for external validation.

Across its eight tracks, Max explores cycles of ego, vulnerability, self- sabotage, inherited patterns, and the tension between instinct and morality. It's deeply personal but universally human - unpicking the messy emotions we often avoid. His signature guitar work and distinct vocals ground every track, blending jagged blues, woozy electronica, 80s synths, soulful grooves and cinematic textures.

Recorded at The Church Studios in London, Praise Animal marks Max's most fully realised creative work to date. While previous projects saw Max collaborate as a writer and guitarist with artists like Mahalia, Yussef Dayes, and Tom Misch, this record is entirely his own voice and vision.

For fans of Tame Impala, mk.gee, Dijon, Royel Otis, and BORNS - 'PRAISE ANIMAL' is a soulful, psych-tinged indie record, driven by sharp songwriting, cinematic textures, and raw, instinct-led energy
