With “Animal“, Swedish indie-rock trio Frank Follows meets the wild side of human emotion. The track bursts with that irresistible mix of catchy guitar riffs and gritty vocals, showcasing the band’s ability to craft a song that feels both energetic and profound. It’s the kind of song that hooks you immediately—tight, punchy, and addictive.
One of the coolest thing in “Animal” is the way it dances between upbeat, pop-rock energy and something deeper, more instinctive. From the opening guitar tones, which feel like a rush of adrenaline, you’re pulled into this vibrant sonic landscape. The track is perfectly produced—just the right balance of polished without losing the raw edges that make it exciting. There’s a clean, driving rhythm that carries the song forward, yet it never feels too obvious or predictable. It’s almost like the band knows exactly how far to push before pulling you back in with Adrian’s gripping vocals.
Thematically, the song strikes a chord with its exploration of that internal struggle—between logic and the wild parts of ourselves we can’t always control. Adrian’s words really hit home: “It’s about the things you do but shouldn’t” he says, a line that’s so relatable it might as well be carved into the indie-rock manifesto. That push-pull tension feels alive in every note of “Animal“, especially in the way the chorus lifts you up and almost dares you not to shout along.
