Two years after their debut, Other Lives comes out with Tamer Animals; an atmospheric and dream-like album. Jason Bentley of KCRW said, “There is a certain magic to Other Lives music.” And he is absolutely right. In that interview with KCRW, Other Lives band members spoke about the painstaking process of recording their music. One member joked, “It’s hard to get the sound of a chamber orchestra when you only have one violin.” After their self-titled debut came out, Other Lives toured for around a year promoting their album. After, they holed themselves up in their Stillwater, Oklahoma studio and began working on Tamer Animals. They worked on this album for 13 months and self-produced it. Tamer Animals has a huge sound with many layers that all have a vital purpose. When I first listened to Other Lives, I immediately thought of Broken Social Scene, one of my favorite bands. The lead singer, Jesse Tabish, has a very absorbing and raspy voice. His voice is what really made me fall head-over-heels for the band. KCRW said their first album was the most criminally overlooked album of the year, and I hope this album will put them in the Indie limelight where they belong.
