Ceramic Animal - Cosmic Eraser (2024) Hi-Res

Eight irresistible songs, that’s what Doylestown, Pennsylvania-based five-piece Ceramic Animal brings to the table on Cosmic Eraser, their fifth full-length album. Due to the appealing ragged edge of its sound, I would label it as garage pop, but judging by the clothing style of the band members—brothers Chris (vocals, guitar), Elliott (vocals, keys) and Erik Regan (drums), with childhood friends Anthony Marchione (guitar) and Dallas Hosey (vocals, bass)—psychedelic nightclub glam seems to be more appropriate. Anyway, everything is actually right here, from the graceful guitar melodies and skilled rhythm section to the slightly gritty vocals and warm harmonies, but it is especially the loose and laidback feel that they convey that creates a blissful atmosphere.
