-Thoughts Words Actions, 2025

 

A brand new single release from Shadow Animal delivers such a unique honesty and perspective with a very relatable sentiment… “Everybody Wants" has an amazing build to it. It feels alive and breathing in its arrangement, and the array of instrumentation is part of what makes it feel theatrical and cinematic… This is the kind of track you think about hours after it's ended, and you may just have to go back and listen again to satiate that feeling.

-The Sounds Won’t Stop, 2025

 

​Between suspended moments and frenetic rides with almost tribal rhythms, a deep singing accompanies us through soundscapes that are at times rarefied and melancholic, at times more rhythmic, at times excited and impetuous, in an up and down of moods, "Everybody Wants" is the new song by Shadow Animal that presents itself as a very short suite of only 2:38

--QALT Media, 2025​

 

With ‘A Little Bigger,’ Christopher Ryan pays tribute — and offers timely encouragement — to the dreamers, musicians, painters, actors, and next-generation artists who are pushing out fragile blooms without even the most meager dousing of Miracle Grow.…‘A Little Bigger’ is a genre-blurring song that would not have been found on your grandfather’s playlist: hip-hoppish cadences delivered over a folky acoustic guitar. The stripped-down arrangement yields plenty of restrained energy. ‘A Little Bigger’ is the song you hear as you climb out of the subway station and pass the busking musician who is giving all he can in exchange for a handful of coins.
