Eamon Fogarty - I'm an animal now (2024) [Hi-Res]

Eamon Fogarty has released a new album, I’m an animal now, which expands the boundaries of the singer-songwriter genre by blending folk and rock with elements of chamber music. The compositions feature complex, non-standard structures and a lack of traditional choruses, prioritizing musical exploration over simple resolutions. The lyrics combine travelogues, dreams, and observations of daily life, often utilizing the motif of a camera to explore the impossibility of fully capturing reality.

Guest musicians (Jeff Tobias, Nora Predey, Ryan Jewell) contributed woodwind, bass, and percussion parts to the recording, although Fogarty performed the majority of the instrumentation himself. Cited musical influences include King Crimson, Robert Wyatt, J.J. Cale, and The Beatles. Despite its complex form, the music remains intimate, honest, and unpretentious, designed for a personal dialogue with the listener rather than for stadium-scale performance.
